Pride is more than just a month of celebrations and recognition of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a protest and a fight for equality. It’s collaboration and support across other marginalized communities.

Schools may have the option to punish students who go by a chosen name without parental permission, according to emails released to FLORIDA TODAY. Schools may be able to punish them for false reporting, or "intentionally providing false of misleading information to or withholding valid information.”

United for Pride means solidarity with your community. United for Pride means speaking up and speaking out. United for Pride means sharing joy and freedom with others. United for Pride means advocating for those that are too tired, afraid, or vulnerable.

From the Stonewall riots to the AIDS crisis, from fighting for marriage equality to resisting anti-trans legislation today-our #LGBTQelders have shown us what resilience is. Today, we honor those who stood up and made space for a more hopeful future. Your courage lights the path we walk now.

Trump and Republicans are continuing to try and bully trans kids out of existence. But we won’t back down to their attacks, because everyone deserves the opportunity to live their life. I will never stop fighting for the rights of trans people everywhere.

Educators deserve more than a single week of recognition. LGBTQ+ supportive educators save students’ lives. Just one visibly supportive educator in a school can help LGBTQ students feel safer in their school environment.

Discriminating against kids because they are transgender is wrong. Sports bans, which often target transgender girls, prohibit transgender youth from participating in school sports and learning key life lessons gained through sports, like confidence and teamwork.

On Tuesday our chair went to the Brevard School Board meeting to stand with parents, students and community members for Ms. Calhoun. It is beyond ridiculous that we are STILL battling these government attacks on education and LGBTQ+ rights, but we won’t stop fighting back against fascism. 🏳️‍⚧️

"What Ms. Calhoun did was life support for this student. It is rare in this world that we come across educators of Ms. Calhoun's caliber. When we do, we must uplift and celebrate them," said Jen Cousins, an LGBTQ+ civil rights advocate.
