Not many people get rewarded for their actions with an introduction to the president — even fewer would use that opportunity to ask the leader of the free world for a job. But that’s what 16-year-old Caleb Laieski did when he met Barack Obama at the White House LGBT Pride reception June 29.
“I told him, ‘Mr. President, it would be very critical to have an LGBT youth adviser on your administration,' ” Laieski recalls. “After, I handed Mr. Brian Bond, the deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, more on the idea, and he said he’ll get it to the president.”
Gutsy moves like that are typical for Laieski, who came out when he was 12 years old. Full story here!
