The film industry honored their best a couple of weekends ago. While the OSCARS was the buzz in Southern California, a few teachers from all over the state of California attended the Equity and Human Rights Conference in Irvine, California.
At the conference, California Teachers Association bestowed honors to some of our best! One of the recipients of the award is a friend of mine.
Meet Carl Bullard. He was the recipient of the Leadership in Lesbian and Gay Issues Human Rights Award.
Carl is my school district's chairman of the Equity and Human Rights Committee. When I was asked to be part of the committee, Carl welcomed me with open arms and heart. It is no wonder that he is awarded this honor.
What we in Fremont already know, now the state of California knows... We love Carl!
Our union president attended the event. She (standing next to the Man of the Hour) is very proud of Carl's accomplishment. :)
I felt so honored to have been part of the celebration. Here we are at a pre-awards ceremony celebration.

Kudos to Carl, I'm so glad to *meet* him! My older daughter is bisexual, so GBLT rights is a big issue for us. I am always thrilled to see such champions of these rights get recognized for their great efforts. And kudos to you for being involved in the committee too! :)
