Yesterday, Florida’s "Don’t Say Gay" bill passed the state Senate. If signed, which looks likely, "classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity" in kindergarten through third grade would be banned.
This is disappointing and dangerous. It sends a message to LGBTQ+ youth that they aren't important, and that their stories and experiences don't belong in the classroom.
As angry as we get every time one of these bills passes, we are equally inspired and encouraged by the hundreds of thousands of students, teachers, and allies who are taking to the streets, walking out of schools, and standing up for the right to exist.
To the young LGBTQ+ people who are reading this, we hear you, we see you, and you are VERY important. We will continue to share your stories and amplify your voices.
To the educators, allies, and parents who receive these emails, pass our words along. "Your Good Vibes Download" is just one of the ways we’re making sure people don’t just say "gay", they celebrate it!
Visit itgetsbetter.org for more inspiring content, free educational resources, and to learn about the many ways the It Gets Better Project is working to create a world where all LGBTQ+ youth are free to live equally and recognize their own worth and power. As always, thank you for supporting our work.
Stand proud!
