A N.S. valedictorian comes out during graduation speech
Quinn Legg, came out as transgender during his graduation speech last week
Quinn Legg, the valedictorian of the Automotive Service Technology program at Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC), came out as transgender during his graduation speech last week. His speech was met with a standing ovation from classmates, faculty, and staff.
Legg began his speech by talking about his journey to becoming valedictorian. He said that he had always been a good student, but he had also struggled with his gender identity. He said that he had known he was transgender since he was a child, but he had been afraid to come out for fear of being rejected.
Legg said that he finally decided to come out after he started attending NSCC. He said that he was met with nothing but support from his classmates and professors. He said that he was "so grateful" for the support he had received, and he said that he wanted to use his platform as valedictorian to inspire others to be themselves.
Legg's speech was met with a standing ovation from the audience. Many people took to social media to praise Legg for his courage and honesty. His speech has been shared widely, and it has inspired others to come out as transgender.
Legg's story is a reminder that it is possible to be yourself, even if you are afraid of being rejected. It is also a reminder that there are people who will support you, no matter what.
I think it is amazing that Quinn Legg had the courage to come out during his graduation speech. His speech was a powerful reminder that everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are. I am glad that he was met with such a positive response from his classmates and faculty. I hope that his story will inspire others to be themselves, no matter what.
