To Follow Your Heart: Coming Out through Literacy.
Kinder, Deborah Jean
English Journal, v88 n2 p63-69 Nov 1998
Describes the experience of a high school English teacher as she respectfully "witnessed" one student's anguished questioning, search, and finding her (the student's) sexual orientation. Relates how the teacher was a supportive listener and offered the student literacy as a means of finding and creating herself. (SR)
