What do you want to be when you grow up? This third-grader said 'drag queen' by danieljtrotta amandavoisard
When a third-grade teacher from Texas asked her mostly 8-year-old students what they wanted to be when they grow up, one of them wrote on the white board: "drag queen."
By one survey nearly 3 percent of youth in Minnesota fall under these categories, identifying with neither gender, or both, or trans, or just defying a traditional male/female binary option. "What's at stake is nothing less than the future lives of these children and own health as a society," said Eliza Byard, executive director of GLSEN, a national advocacy group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students.
"We expected a lot of pushback from the school and we expected some intolerance, but we've been very surprised," said Keegan's mother.
