I Say Gay in Florida.

I was reading an article today that all safe flags are coming down from Public School in Florida. When I was in high school, I remember the need to feel safe in straight-gay alliance club. During this time, I didn't fully understand my sexuality. I didn't date boys or girls. I just knew morally bullying of other kids was wrong. Every child in school needs a safe place. A place to feel understood. I am witnessing one of the most tragic moments in history as Florida erases history in 2022. Prior to the pandemic, I was interested in pursuing a career as a teacher and author in Tampa, Florida. Despite the low pay, I enjoyed working as a teacher's assistant. My goal in going to school was to better myself and make a difference in my community. Nevertheless, what I am witnessing makes me want to change my career. As fear grows over losing their jobs, Florida teachers are in a state of madness. All of this is due to Governor DeSantis' unpredictable chaos. There is a feeling that he is trying to set Florida back to the days when segregated education was the norm. Racial terms such as "woke" are used to pass laws that eliminate race, diversity, and equal rights. In trying to fire anyone who doesn't agree with his colonized view of the world, DeSantis is overstepping his authority. Democracy is not being practiced here. To the Governor, I say Gay in Florida, I teach diversity, and I shattered your racist way of thinking by writing YOU'RE WRONG. You are wrong, Governor. Throughout history, students have been bullied and even killed, which is why I advocate Gay in Education and safe places for all students. Shame on you Governor DeSantis.
Appearance vs. attraction
Appearance vs. attraction in my heart I must ask. Why does it have to be such voodoo for me to tell the world I'm attracted to you? To want to be with an amazing someone? What if I felt a Deja vu connection, should that stop me from knowing a vibrant, new sexy soul? Why should that stop me from being with you? Just because they don't want to see us together why does it matter so much? Why should I have to keep my feelings in the sheets unable to hold your hands in the streets without having to flee? The United States always talks about forward being the key, but all I see is a backward ass Democracy telling me I'm sick for expressing my sexuality. A fake appearance they make trying to impress a select few who discriminate because discrimination is discrimination. Whether you're talking about someone’s race, religion or sexuality. So, don't tell me to disguise my attraction with a fake appearance of how America is supposed to be and how I'm making a frown. It’s not even like I am sleeping around. I'm just looking for love like anyone else the only difference is I'm attracted to females and believe she is the one God made for me. Destiny. ''
