See, I told you – no act is too small! What do I mean? Well, a student from North Surrey Secondary felt that enough was enough – she was tired of seeing people within the LBTQ+ communities face. Brittany McMillan felt that more awareness needed to be brought about to this issue.

This movement was such a success that another larger anti-homophobia campaign called, GLAAD, contacted her to get involved.<\/p>\n
