We are proud parents, students, and teachers, and LGBTQ+ people deserve to exist boldly, just like everyone else.” “The existence of LGBTQ+ people across Florida is not up for debate. Oakley, the state legislative director and senior counsel at the national LGBTQ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign, in a statement. “The Florida state legislature is playing a dangerous political game with the health and safety of LGBTQ+ kids,” said Cathryn M. Advocates warn its passage could be harmful for students’ mental health. Joe Harding, a Republican who introduced the bill, told TIME in February that the bill’s intention is to keep parents “in the know and involved on what’s going on” with their child’s education, but critics argue the bill is discriminatory, and an attempt by Republican lawmakers to stir political support amid a broader climate of increasing politicization of LGBTQ rights and heightened scrutiny of what children are taught in schools. The proposed law, often referred to by critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, bans public school districts from teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through the third grade, or “in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students”-language that critics say could extend the ban to higher grade levels. DeSantis has signaled his support for the bill and is expected to sign it.

Millie has used Twitter in the past to spread love and positivity, particularly when she launched an anti-bullying account, yet she herself has now been driven off the platform because of just that.Įxplaining the account to The Wrap, she said: "Don’t let it stop you from living your life. It's pretty clear to see why Millie would be upset by the hateful memes, and even if it has been shared by gay people as a "joke," it could easily be mistaken for truth, as many fans pointed out. Then over the weekend, while Pride Month celebrations were in full-swing, the meme resurfaced again (apparently as an "iconic meme/joke between stan/gay Twitter" according to one person). So we're not surprised that Millie wasn't here for it when internet users attributed false anti-gay comments to her. It started back in November when a fake story about a person's experience of meeting her started circling the Twitterverse. Hit play on the video to see Millie and the rest of the Stranger Things kids play the whisper game. The 14-year-old actress is renowned for using her social media to raise awareness for gun control, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (not to mention just spreading the lurve in general). Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has deactivated her Twitter account after her images were used in an anti-gay meme.
