The It Gets Better Project headed to Austin, Texas for SXSW EDU last week and hosted a meetup for queer educators and allies. But given that SXSW takes place in Texas, a state where politicians seem to be on a mission to discriminate against LGBTQ+ youth, we also wanted to take the opportunity to have THAT conversation.
We were honored to be joined by two incredible people — one of our Youth Voices ambassadors, 14-year-old Elliot Schneider, and their mom, Holly — who shared some of their thoughts about what’s happening in Texas… as a trans teen trying to live their life, and as a mom trying to support her child. You can read their powerful speeches here!
