That’s a political agenda, that’s the wrong side of the line for Florida standards.

Lay down your own day, follow it to its noon, your own noon, or you will sit in an outer hall listening to the chimes but never reaching high enough to strike your own. – Angelo Patri	added by JokerGem 1 year ago

On the day of protest, they tried to take away our Pride flags and stop us from distributing them at the event, i resisted, because Pride flags are a symbol of our community, of our embrace of our queerness, and when you have these bills trying to target and silence queer youth, I didn't understand.
