In Florida at the time of posting this there is a bill nicknamed the "Don't Say Gay" bill. Basically what the bill aims to do is to ban talking about the LGBTQ+ community in school. This seems to be a homophobic law aimed to make sure kids won't be gay.

When I was growing up I didn't live in a place where people talked about being in the LGBTQ+ community. As I didn't have a lot of friends growing up, I could count the number of friends on one hand and have fingers left, I wasn't opened to exploring my sexuality.

Did that make me straight?

It took until my freshman year to begin feeling comfortable calling myself bisexual, though I was and still am in the closet in most places. It wasn't until I was in my mid-twenties that I learned about the term genderfluid and so I started referring to myself as that gender identity. Within the past few years I realized I'm not genderfluid but agender.

So all this bill will accomplish is making kids in the LGBTQ+ community hate themselves because they don't know there isn't anything wrong with them. It will also make school more of an utter hell for them.
