How can you not love Emma.

She is so smart. So honest. She is cool. I even love her haircut. Different. I am 58 years old, grew up in the 60s and 70s and I still love people who are different. I love people who speak out, raise hell, rebel. I am still young at heart. Thank god.

Always. I like seeing her on TV. She's smart, well-spoken, fearless and ready to tell you what she thinks. I think she's a star. She's also already a leader, as the President of her school's Gay-Straight alliance. I expect big things from her.

Keep talking, Emma, and I'll keep smiling. You go!

I admire her strength in the face of what she and her classmates have experienced. In one week a new generation of leaders has emerged.

humansofmsd“I decided to cut my hair because it was a pain in the neck, if you’ll forgive the pun. It was really hot all the time; it was very cumbersome and very heavy, leading to a lot of headaches. It was expensive to keep it up, and as prom time came around, I figured it would be cheaper to not have to worry about doing my hair. The more my parents said no, the more I wanted it. Actually, I even made a powerpoint in order to convince them that I should do it. I figured I would look really good with it, and I do. So, it all worked out fine.”

Hope she stays strong because the nutjobs have only just begun with their attacks.

And wouldn't allow her to avoid answering questions. She's a hero and a leader.
