Plan for s2 feature & update

This weekend/ monday: Get interviews from a few (at least 2) students and hopefully mrs.Timberlake
Next week: Rough draft of piece
Thus far I have emailed a few students to ask if they would be willing to be interviewed.

Questions to ask:
-Basic background questions about how long they have been going to TA, where they went to middle school, what grade they're in, etc.
-How old were you when you realized your identity?
-When you came out, how did you identify yourself (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, etc.)?
-How old were you when you first told someone?
-What was that persons reaction?
-If you have been "outed" unwillingly, what happened?
-When would you say were you really "out" to everyone or most people?
-Was there something in particular that drove you to come out at that time?
-What have peoples reactions been in general?
-How did your friends take it?
-How did your family take it/ have you told your family?
-At TA, how accepted do you feel/ is there a lot of support?
-Have you ever experienced homophobia here at TA or elsewhere?
            ~Elaborate?
-What advice would you give to someone wanting/trying to come out?
-If you could do it all again, what (if anything) would you do differently?
-Are there any other experiences that stand out to you in regards to coming out?
