LGBTQ American history is not taught in Floridas public schools, so I took it upon myself to explain the events of the Stonewall Uprising to my 4th period US history class. #SayGayAnyway
I’m a 17 year old highschool junior teaching a historical event to my classmates. We have learned much more intense history in this class. How are y’all calling me a groomer and a pedo rn. Stop sexualizing and harassing minors like me.
for more context: we were in the late 60s early 70s unit and when i found out we were gonna learn about stonewall (1969) i made a presentation and my teacher let me show the class

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?
