I was raised in the church and by my parents to treat every person with dignity and respect, and that every child is precious. The Don’t Say Gay bill will rip the soul out of these children. It’s unforgivable. Laws are created to protect people. This bill only hurts.

The Don’t Say Gay bill is cold blooded, vicious, designed to silence, to shame, to attack. Think of all the good that we could accomplish in this world without those who seek to inflict harm on the innocent. Harvey Milk said “hope will never be silent.” We will not be silenced.

These children need our kindness, uplifting and support. We can not silence them. I will not erase my students. 🍎

Thank you, Val Deming's!

Someone's gayness impinges zero on another person's heteroness. Zero. Worry about yourself and let others live to their gayest. If you need to, tell yourself it is the way Jesus would have wanted it.
