AS FLORIDA'S 'DON'T SAY GAY' LAW TAK EFFECT, SCHOOLS ROLL OUT LGBTQ RTRICTNS

* gay rights school *

“Don’t Say Gay” or “No Promo Homo” Laws Are Invalid.

A Southern California school board has bee the latt proxy for culture wars brewg across the untry after a nservative bloc voted to formally reject state-endorsed curriculum that would have mentned gay rights figure Harvey Milk. * gay rights school *

If your school’s drs allows stunts to wear T-shirts wh slogans, is unlawful for your school to ask you to take off your shirt jt bee endors gay pri. You Have the Right To Form Gay-Straight Allianc (GSAs) or Genr & Sexualy Allianc.

The anizatns are stunt-led groups that provi a safe, supportive environment for lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer, and qutng youth and their alli.

You have the right to be ee om nversn therapy or church servic that say negative thgs about lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr people.

The Florida Don't Say Gay law shows the opposg velopments ncerng LGBTQ tn U.S. schools. While some stat have been tablishg legal foundatns for LGBTQ curriculums recently, Florida is gog the oppose directn and more stat are expected to follow s example. * gay rights school *

(Nati Harnik / AP)Edor’s Note: This article is part of a seri about the gay-rights movement and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall groups have always been about a simple, key objective: Stop all the groups are GSAs—Genr-Sexualy Allianc, though they were origally known as Gay-Straight Allianc—and that was their missn when they first rose to promence the late 1980s. Perhaps, the theory was, jt by existg, the groups uld make gay kids feel ls alone, and that self uld rce suici risk, which was mon among gay teens at the Lipk, a former high-school history teacher, an thor, and a proment LGBTQ-rights advote, was one of the GSA movement’s earlit pneers.
