A response to harm filled "Don't Say Gay" Bill up in Florida
I am calling out all the politicians
Who want to ban words from schools
Who want to ban ideas from schools
Who want to ban thinking from schools
Using the words
Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, Ace, Questioning
Saves lives
Using the words
Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Panic Attacks
"It's Ok Not To Be Ok"
Saves lives
Using words
Institutional Racism, Civil Rights, Privilege
Saves our democracy
I am calling out all the politicians
Who want to ban words from schools
Who want to ban ideas from schools
Who want to ban thinking from schools
Using Words Saves Lives
Showing Others We Exist
Using Words Saves Lives
Showing Others We Have Always Existed
Using Words Saves Lives
Breaking Down Walls Of Isolation And Fear And Pain
I am calling out all the politicians
Who want to ban words from schools
Who want to ban ideas from schools
Who want to ban thinking from schools
Your nonsense is like the teacher in
"Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen"
But we all know
When it comes to flowers
When it comes to our lived experiences
When it comes to our identities
It is like the little boy in the song sang...
"There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
I am calling out all the politicians
Who want to ban words from schools
Who want to ban ideas from schools
Who want to ban thinking from schools
Politicians why do you want to cause harm?
Politicians why are you fearful of others identities?
Politicians why are you not moved by knowing 42%
Of LGBTQ youth seriously considering attempting suicide last year*?
Why do you want students to feel isolated?
Why do you want students to feel alone?
Why do you want students to feel hopeless?
It is hard enough when students feel beloved and loved
They don't need to face adults who refuse to talk about their struggles
Like there is something wrong because they are themselves
Like there is something wrong because they are bold and beautiful
Like there is something wrong because they can only be true to their truths
I am calling out all the politicians
Who want to ban words from schools
Who want to ban ideas from schools
Who want to ban thinking from schools
