April Beese knows too well how hard it can be to be a gay teenager in high school.
Beese said a friend outed her at Oshkosh North High School when she still was questioning her sexuality. Watching an openly gay classmate getting heckled for creating a gay-straight alliance did not help, either.
“Most kids (who they knew were gay) weren’t even out and they got a lot of crap for it,” she said. “They had friends who completely trash talked them.”
