Belle McGrathhide bio
 Author has written 4 stories for Outsiders. Hello! My name's Belle and I'm a full-time student and aspiring musical theater actress. I'm a professional procrastinator. I'm passionate about many things, including The Outsiders, Harry Potter, fashion history, world history, religions and theater, which I live and breathe for. I directed my school production of the Outsiders, which won nineteen prizes at a local drama competition, and I'm now directing my school's productions of The Breakfast Club. I'm very opinionated but I'm also very open-minded. I'm a proud supporter of equal rights for the LGBTQ community and the #BlackLivesMatter movement in the United States. I'm a very proud feminist. I'm against police brutality and the possession of guns. I'm for free healthcare and free college tuition. I respect the views and values of all the religions of the world and I'm against all discrimination made towards someone solely based on the religion one practices. I'm for breaking the stigma surrounding mental illnesses. I'm against the war on drugs and I'm very interested in Canadian and American politics. My idea of a perfect world is very simple: A life like in the 1950's, same cars, fashion, music, culture and manners, but with gender and racial equality and respect towards the LGBTQ community. Love you all and stay gold. - Belle |
