Minneapolis, MN – On Tuesday, July 3rd, Pride High creator Tommy Roddy and his character Suravi were honored by Blind Friends, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People (BFLAG) at their 2007 convention in Minneapolis.
“BFLAG recognizes Suravi for her exemplary outlook on life and her ‘can do’ attitude. A fifteen year old blind, straight A, lesbian student…she is just the inspiration future BFLAG members need,” said Butch Arnold, President of BFLAG.
Suravi, “Sun” in Sanskrit, was born with the ability to create powerful bursts of incandescence and searing bolts of light. Her first power manifestation at the age of four resulted in permanent blindness. Undaunted by her disability, Suravi gained admission to Poseidon Preparatory Academy, a school for super-powered youth. Together with four friends, she created “Pride High”, her school’s first gay-straight alliance.
