I was the first to bring LGBT groups to educational institutions. I have given talks, workshops, invited people from different LGBT fields to guide and accompany my students. Numerous courses and a text about bullying will be published shortly with a colleague, in which I dedicated myself especially on Homophobic Bullying. Upon retiring, I founded, with a group of teachers of different sexual orientations, the Aguilas Multicolores group, to work specifically with LGBT youth, to help them out of the closet and raise their self-esteem. I was cofounder and first secretary of an NGO in Uruguay, but I had to withdraw because the choices of the NGO President were not the ones I considered appropriate. I do not consider this important, because in this struggle, I feel one more, and that is how everyone perceives me, including my family. The young people trust me as much as I do in them, although I am heterosexual. My name is Sheina Leoni, I am Uruguayan and I work as a teacher in my country, but I am also a writer and activist for LGBT issues, an intense fighter for the rights of the young people of this community.
