From Sandy Hook Promise:

Even with generational shifts in acceptance, LGBTQ+ students and young people are victimized by gun violence at higher rates.

Every child has a right to be safe wherever they are: at home, in school, in communities. Teaching kids to value inclusivity, speak up against injustice and victimization, and get help for those who need it will help ensure a just and safe future for everyone.

Yet another #DontSayGay bill being proposed which could cause so many issues for #LGBTQ youth in #NorthCarolina. This proposed bill could make it a requirment for teachers to out trans students to their parents. So you can well imagine the amount of problems this could cause for the students with unsupportive parents. These bills need to die, they don't serve anaything or anyone.
