This week Florida’s Hateful ‘Don’t Say Gay’ will become the law of the land. It’s a first of its kind law in America that starts the process of erasing young people, students and even our identity as LGBTQ+. It’s designed to push us back into the closet.  We will not go quietly into the night. So this is a special student takeover of Queer News Tonight. This is the news of the LGBTQ+ world, of America, here in Florida and our own schools and playgrounds. This week has been an attack unlike we have ever seen in our young lives. But there were highlights. 

We shout out Flagler Palm Coast High School student Jack Petocz who was suspended this week in organizing a student walk out over ‘Don’t Say Gay’.  His suspension was because he passed out over 200 pride flags.  You are a hero in the battlefield of Governor Ron DeSantis' culture war on LGBTQ+ children. History will not treat him kindly.

We shout out Winter Park High School walk out organizers Will Larkins and Maddi Zornek. Both received world wide attention as more than 500 students walked out of class this week chanting Please Say Gay. You are heroes in the battlefield against Bill sponsor Representative Joe Harding’s culture war on LGBTQ+ children. History will not treat him kindly.

We shout out to Safe Schools South Florida and Executive Director Scott Galvin who organized rallies, flew an airplane banner over South Florida schools and Miami Beach in support, organized student protests at the gates of Walt Disney World and more. You are all heroes in the battlefield against Bill sponsor Senator Dennis Baxley’s culture war on LGBTQ+ children. History will not treat him kindly.

We shout out Equality Florida, Nadine Smith, Joe Saunders and the countless other activists that loudly and clearly said this is wrong. Organized students to go to the capital and lobby for our rights in the best of our democracy. As students, we often wonder if the adult world cares about LGBTQ young people.  This last month, your voice of support was heard loud and clear and you are heroes in the battlefield of the GOP, Religious and other powerful elites that made it clear they think they can win this culture war against LGBTQ youth.   History will not treat them kindly.

We are the future of our towns, of Florida, of America, of our entire World. And This is the historic Student takeover of Queer News Tonight. Here is why Young LGBTQ+ fight.
