I came out as a gay teacher in a whole-school assembly in 2010. Today, 4 years later, I just received this email. Wow pic.twitter.com/Wdgzo4n3lf

David then emailed the student to say thank you and received this response:
"David, I am overwhelmed with happiness at the response that this message has received – but let me remind you that it is your courage which people are picking up on, not my small act of kindness. I am overjoyed that your assembly is receiving the recognition it deserves".
David has since left teaching to set up his own charity, the Teacher Development Study, which aims to help children in life and study.Explore more on these topics:
