I am the youngest public plaintiff in the “Don’t Say Gay” lawsuit. I am my Florida high school’s first openly-gay Class President. I am being silenced, and I need your help. 🧵
A few days ago, my principal called me into his office and informed me that if my graduation speech referenced my activism or role as a plaintiff in the lawsuit, school administration had a signal to cut off my microphone, end my speech, and halt the ceremony. (2/8)
I am the first openly-gay Class President in my school’s history–this censorship seems to show that they want me to be the last. This threat is not the first that I have received from administration about my queer rights. (3/8)

If they see the photo of the teacher sitting at her desk, the first logical fallacy they will commit is ad hominem.

They will try to disregard the whole story by asserting that even slightly overweight people are just lazy, and will do worse than others if they contract Covid.

I Returned to this Hellish Site to talk about Another thing That Just Happen in the world. Yes It’s about Don’t Say Gay and Disney “Response” if u can call it that, but I wanna talk about it in My Point of View on What there’s Other Issues in it and How hopefully it be Changed
First Thing First This New Bill that Was Passed in Florida is Complete BullShit and to the Folks that Voted for it Should Be ASHAMED of themselves. Now that that’s out of the way Let’s Actually Talk about Disney Response to it, or Rather Should Say Bob Chapek Response to it.-
Bob is Many and I Mean MANY to Disney Fans including Myself as a Horrible CEO, practically anything he done so far to both the Company and Disney Legacy Is Complete Trash and is One of them That takes the Cake. And What SUCKS is that there was Many People at Disney World Asking-
