Write a New Note Out in the Summer Series- Speak out Fridays

Every Friday there will be a post about relevant news topics regarding LGBT youth nation wide and world wide.

Today's story is about Derrek Lutz. Derrek is from NJ and identifies as a cross dresser. He wanted to wear a dress and heels to his prom but had to fight the school for permission. Derrek gained the support and not only went to prom but also won prom king!

Here's a link to the full story http://www.queerty.com/new-jerseys-derrek-lutz-wore-a-dress-to-prom-and-was-crowned-prom-king-20100503/

"What makes me a woman is inside and it doesn't really matter what's on the outside. And everyone should really just be treated equally," Lutz said.

Write a poem in response to Derrek's story. If you have trouble starting it, try starting with today, I did something I thought I would never do...

Don't forget to send us your poems or post them in your own note and tag us on Facebook!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!
