prideknights:prideknights: Forcing schools to out students six weeks after learning about their sexual orientation puts LGBTQ+ youth in danger. Florida schools should be a place where kids feel supported, not scared. This bill already required schools to inform families that their children identify as LGBTQ+ upon coming out. Outing students was not a requirement when believed that doing so might lead to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. With this amendment, there is no longer a way around it.This bill will force children to hide who they are in fear of being outed. Our youth will be at an even greater risk of abuse, neglect, and even homelessness. This bill is dangerous for LGBTQ+ students and harmful to education.Florida’s Don’t Say Gay amendment is not okay. Do better, Ron DeSantis. Visit stopdesantis.org for more info. The final vote on this bill is today! (Thursday, feb 24, 2022) Reblog and contact your legislators to help make a difference! Dear God.I don’t live in Florida, but I’m a teacher and there’ll never be ANYTHING you could do to make me out a student. Pass all the laws you want. I don’t care. Look away for two seconds and they’re over here doing some wild, evil shit. How deplorable. What the hell is outing a kid going to do for anyone besides make life hell for that kid? If they’re not out already there’s a million reasons as to why, and I’ll bet safety and security is at the top of that list. Many kids already know if they can trust their parents to support them if they come out – don’t support laws that take their autonomy and safety away from them!This anti-LGBTQ+ bullshit in 2022 is getting way under my fucking skin and it’s only February. -- source link
