Today's conference marks a turning point for young people everywhere, and in particular, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth who face disproportionate rates of harassment while at school. By taking this momentous stand against bullying, President Obama has sent a clear message to LGBT youth across the country that it's okay to be who you are.
