Attention all followers:
Please read this because soon, there may be many lives at stake in North Carolina, United States. There is a bill (Senate Bill 49 North Carolina) that is getting ready to be passed in North Carolina that states that in order for a gender nonconforming individual to go by their prefered names and pronouns they have to have parental consent. This would mean every time a student tells an administrator/teacher that the child was not straight or cis gender (not conforming to the gender they were assigned at birth) the personel would be legally required to report this to the parents via phone call or meeting no matter the cercumstances at home. This would put not only many students in difficult spots with their parents but also MILLIONS OF CHILDREN in danger of getting kicked out onto the streets by unaccepting parents or even beaten or killed. This bill has already been through the senate and could pass very soon. If we don't take action and get coverage, the don't say gay movement will continue to spread across america leaving millions of LGBTQ+ individuals ridiculed, under represented, and abused, as well as increase the suicide rates even more in trans/nonbinary teens. If You care even just a little bit I encourage you to email or call your local government offices today ESPECIALLY THE ONE FOR NORTH CAROLINA and get them not to pass this bill. It will mean life or death for some kids. Thank you for reading. Please don't just sit around. Please share the message.
