Florida Teachers Comment on Don't Say Gay Bill

No matter who you ask, everyone has an opinion about the don't say gay bill in Florida. I've heard many on a personal level, including some from gay men who don't think it's that bad. Of course, I think it's a ridiculous, cruel, unnecessary bill that was designed to target LGBTQIA people. The bill is so ambiguous it lends itself to different interpretations.

Here's what Florida teachers have to say. This excerpt sums it up for me well because I can't totally relate to this.

“I wasn’t able to walk to any classroom and see rainbow stickers on the door that says this is a safe place where you can be who you are,” said McCracken. “We have that now. That’s what we’re trying to create for our students. This law, I see as an effort to take away the years that we’ve put in trying to make this a better place for kids so they don’t have to grow up like I grew up, where I thought I was all alone and then I barely made it through high school.”

Here's more. I encourage you to read this one. It's excellent. The MAGAs who don't understand because they're so deeply rooted in their own straight privilege will give you a different opinion.
