Florida school axes anti-LGBTQ bullying prevention measure because of Don't Say Gay law

Students in a Florida school district can no longer access a training video aimed at helping prevent anti-LGBTQ bullying thanks to the state’s recently enacted “Don’t Say Gay” law.

Duval County Public Schools removed the 12-minute video, which had been used in the district’s All In for Safe Schools program, from YouTube according to an investigation by WJCT Public Media’s Jacksonville Today.

Duval Schools District spokesperson Tracy Pierce confirmed that the video had “been removed for legal review to ensure the content complies with recent state legislation.”

According to Gay Straight Alliance faculty sponsor Scott Sowell, the video was created for students with the input of Duval LGBTQ students with funding from a federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grant.

Give it another month, and they'll be running PSA's encouraging people to bully and beat up LGBTQ's. After all, that is what they really want. Small-brained, elevator-shod no-heart DeathSentence is that filled with hatred toward us. He wants to wipe us out with a signature, and sick his equally small-minded Nazi bullies on us all.

I'm beginning to doubt if it "gets better." I just know it won't get better in Florida... It'll only get worse as long as DeSatan is allowed to goose-step all over LGBTQ's in that rotten penis-shaped third-world hellhole.
