“Groomer” is a serious accusation that I will not level at Oklahoma elected leaders. Legislation targeting 2SLGBTQ+ is not “grooming” and neither is supporting and affirming 2SLGBTQ+ students. Statements claiming otherwise are disingenuous. #oklaed 🧵
Supt. Ryan Walters, Sen. David Bullard, Sen. Shane Jett, Sen. Nathan Dahm, and others have been and are continuing to actively harm 2SLGBTQ+ students and their families. Recent state legislation has put the very lives of young Oklahomans at risk. #oklaed
SB129, authored by Bullard, has been named The Millstone Act of 2023. This reference is Bullard’s claim that providing transgender youth with proven gender affirming healthcare is “causing a little one to stumble.” #oklaed
I am a Christian, but not a biblical literalist. I wholly reject Sen. Bullard’s interpretation of the life and message of Jesus. There is no “millstone” for anyone involved, including Sen. Bullard. #oklaed
I don’t want Sen. Bullard to go to fake hell. I don’t wish him any harm at all. I want Sen. Bullard to change. I want him to see the dignity and wonder of trans youth. I want Sen. Bullard to apologize and work to undue the damage that has already been done. #oklaed
