Recently, I have received what feels like endless threats, homophobia, and people calling me a groomer/pedophile. i’m 17 and seeing what people say about me is scary. This is a direct result of Desantis homophobic rhetoric. They are attacking minors. Protect kids.
The amount of hate i get over social media is disturbing. Complete adults calling ME a predator for talking about my experience growing up gay, homophobia, and mental health struggles.
People have called me a creep, a predator, a groomer, and a pedophile since i was in early middle school. Desantis is making that worse for us. Who’s sexualizing children when a 12 year old is called a pedophile because they happen to be gay?
Comments on a tiktok i posted of me testifying in front of the Florida Senate. 
Last October at a halloween party where a group of guys from school surrounded me and threatened me. I talk about this a lot, but one of the main things shouted at me was “Go fuck kids” and “go fuck animals”. The republicans in power are perpetuating this and it’s harming kids.
if anyone wants to read more in depth about what queer teens in Florida are dealing with:
