Student sent home from school for wearing ‘Nobody knows I’m a Lesbian’ t-shirt.
Student Stephanie, 17, was told by teachers to change out of the offending t-shirt for school photos. She says that she had already worn the shirt several times before to school but that the photocall day had caused concern amongst ‘Year 12 co-ordinators’ at Strathmore Secondary College in Melbourne, Australia. “They said it was because certain parents would complain,” Stephanie told the Sunday Herald.
Stephanie’s mother said that she had had the t-shirt printed for her daughter when she was about 15, “I’m proud of her. I love her and I don’t care what she is.”
What’s particularly great about this story is that the incident triggered a protest of other students who turned up at school wearing other slogan t-shirts: “Nobody knows I’m bulimic”, “Nobody knows I’m pregnant,” and “Nobody knows I’m on steroids.” Brilliant. Who says young people are apolitical?
