But I promise you one thing: The students have not forgotten.
As adults, we should know that the things we say to children can have deep and lasting impacts. If we say something that hurts them, we should do what’s necessary to control the damage we have done.
That’s the message Lorinda Lindley, president of PFLAG – Laramie, wants to make clear. She spoke with Better Wyoming and Wyoming Equality recently about Senator Hutchings and her comments.
