I’ve just finished reading “PROUD of Me,” a YA contemporary book by Sarah Hagger-Holt for LGBTQ month. I started and read most of it in June! It tells the story of a young girl and boy and their lesbian parents. Yes, they have two mums. We are informed of this at the beginning of the novel. The children are aged around 13.

Tommy broke away from the hug to go warm up. This duet between him and Tubbo was one Tommy had been looking forward to all week. It was just a fun contemporary dance that had just the right amount of sharp movement that both the boys could work with.

The dance was about 3 minutes long but by the end of it, both Tommy and Tubbo were exhausted. It was their final run before the actual show so they both had committed to it and gave it all that they had.

Stand up against bullies and unkindness. People who are shy or different might be targeted by bullies either online or in person.
