The author of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill is adding an amendment that would require schools to out LGBTQ students to their parents even if the school believes the disclosure will result in "abuse, abandonment, or neglect"
I know that we normally don't talk about politics here, but we have to call attention to this, because this bill in Florida is going to put children at risk of great harm. LGBTQ+ people in Florida need help on the double!
​
I kid you not, this is the actual bill amendment, sadly. Here's the rest of the content of the bill.
​
Carlos Smith, Florida's 1st LGBTQ+ Latino state rep, provided a link for everyone to see.
​
This is the evil that Rep. Joseph Harding and Florida governor Ron Desantis wish to inflict on LGBTQ+ youth and the adults who wish to protect them. This is their bill.
​
This is the content of the amendment:
>The school principal or his or her designee shall develop a plan using all available governmental resources, to disclose such information within 6 weeks after the decision to withhold such information from the parent. The plan must facilitate disclosure between the student and parent through an open dialogue in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment that respects the parent-child relationship and protects the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of the student.
​
This amendment is to be inserted after this part of the bill, in lines 77-81. This is what that part says on p.4 of the bill:
>This subparagraph does not prohibit a school district from adopting procedures that permit school personnel to withhold such information from a parent if a reasonably prudent person would believe that disclosure would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect...
​
Republicans in Florida want to subject children to abuse for being born this way. It's an absolute travesty of a bill now made even worse. This bill is going to inflict immense harm on children, and Republicans are still going forward with it.

We can't be healthy
It's been months since i started to workout, but still didn't change other things in my life to become healthier. To change that, i was looking for forums, groups, anything that could help me with it.
Then, i found a group and some guy offered me some tips, because in the beginning he had the same struggle. He then asked me "Did your libido also increased when you started working out?", i've read people talking about it, but it didn't happen to me, so i said "No, and i'm glad it didn't, because i wouldn't know how to handle it.", he asked "Why?", and i answered "I don't know if it is because i am asexual or because i don't have a partner to help me take care of it".
He then proceeded to ask me what is an asexual and when i explained to him, he had the audacity to ask me why asexuals workout if we don't need "to be hot", since we "don't seek for sexual partners". I told him to look more for what asexual is, because my explanation probably wasn't enough for him.
So, now i have to stop working out, because i'm Ace.
