El 23 | Queer It is <strong>2022</strong> and Florida is attempting to pass a law called the Parental Rights in Education Bill. In part, it will prohibit schools from talking about any LGBT related topics from Kindergarten to grade 3 and will limit conversations around this topic to what will be considered “age appropriate” by both parents and the school. If parents feel that conversations being had are not age appropriate, they can sue. I knew I liked girls from the time I was 7 years oldthank “Crazy in Love” by Beyonce- but I did not know it was a bad thing until I told a classmate I had a crush on her. I was bullied into a new school. I only told one of my teachers and she refused to touch the issue; she just told me to be strong and ignore the bullies. I suffered in silence, I learned to hide my queerness for the first time in a series of painful moments of being invisible. What a disservice my teacher did to me and my classmates by not talking about liking who you like and being who you feel was not only normal but also a natural, important part of human diversity. Talking about being LGBT in a way that is appropriate but doesn't demonize or alienate anyone or their families while also advocating for children to be kind to those they may see as different is imperative. Imagine how other queer kids around the country would feel hearing their teachers publicly, unabashedly support them no matter how old they are. The first time I was told my queerness was okay was freshman year of high school, by an incredibly awesome English teacher who was also the advisor for the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), a student group for LGBT and allied students. I learned so much more about myself, sexual health, and healing in four years of that club than I did in over 10 years of public school formalized education. We as a country need to do better in teaching our students about human diversity and sexual health in a comprehensive way that is inclusive of various sexual orientations and gender identities. We are here, We are queer and We will never disappear.
