florida high school class president zander moricz was told by his school that they would cut his microphone if he said “gay” in his grad speech, so he replaced gay with “having curly hair.” i am in awe

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility! 🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we honor the trans student leaders, staff, chapter members, educators, and supporters. We also uplift those who cannot be visible because of safety and those navigating safety because they are visible.

Bonus Episode: In Texas and across the country, it's time for silent supporters to become vocal advocates of trans kids and families. Not sure where to start? @AmberLeventry is our favorite source of LGBTQIA+ parenting info. https://t.co/lObuZRlETj #protecttranskids #transrights

@bradpritchett You had me at buttons!

[InformedParentsofATX @InformedATX]

If you are a supporter of @InformedATX then you definitely want to know about @educateusaction.

If you're not a supporter of @InformedATX & comprehensive, LGBTQ+ inclusive sex ed, then you REALLY need to know about #educateus and how sex ed can change the world.

Rep. Matt Krause is asking the Texas Education Association to identify where copies of books that deal with issues of race, gender identity and sexuality were located in school libraries and classrooms and the amount of money districts had spent on them.

TEXAS: Your voices are slowing the anti-voter omnibus bills HB 6 and SB 7, but we must not forget other bills with the same harmful provisions. One example: the TX House Elections Committee passed HB 4322, which would ban drive-thru voting. #txlege https://t.co/Nz6t56EUAQ

Anti-Racists Educator Reflection

Sharing an article by @TexasAFT that has me wondering if @AustinISD students, families, educators and neighbors are aware of the TX bills that DO NOT…Promote..Respect…Inclusion…Diversity and Equity?
And those that DO.
