Heather Matarazzo

I remember when I first saw the film Welcome to the Dollhouse back in the late 1990s. The character of Dawn "Weinerdog" Weiner captured my heart as the nerdy kid who is teased and ostracized by the kids at school and even her own family. One of the taunts the kids yelled was, "Lesbo!" Now Heather Matarazzo, the actor who played that part and also starred in The Princess Diaries has come out as a lesbian. Heather Matarazzo is using her experience as someone who felt like she had to hide a part of who she is to help gay and lesbian students in schools.
