FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. There were heated discussions at Tuesdays Broward County School Board meeting over resolutions supporting Pride.
Of the 99 resolutions the board historically has passed without any issue, two of them got a lot of attention this time around, neither of which have anything to do with the curriculum. Still, dozens of people turned out to talk about them.

One of the resolutions is in support of LGBTQ+ History Month in October, and another resolution in support of Pride Month in June.
Concern was voiced from some who showed up and were opposed to it, but there was also plenty of support for both resolutions.

These resolutions have been easily passed in the past 10 years or so. Other examples are resolutions in support of Hispanic Heritage Month, Jewish History Month and Juneteenth Awareness Day.

None of these resolutions are curriculum, said School Board Member Debra Hixon. They all follow the law.

In the end, the school board approved the two resolutions, along with the 97 others.

Two of the three members who opposed the resolutions were appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

I dont think it should have anything to do with politics, said School Board Member Brenda Fam. I dont think we should have anything to do with activism.

It was last September when there was a similar discussion in Miami-Dade County, where the majority-conservative school board voted against LGBTQ+ History Month.

Why local politics are important i guess

Just because I have 99% of a heart doesn't mean it can't kill me. It's tried. Twice.
My body has a dongle and my heart doesn't care. The one thing we agree on.

And yet, it will still enrage the GOP, since even meaningless platitudes in favor of LGBTQ+ people are utter anathema to a party that explicitly wants to kill every single LGBTQ+ person as well as erase the very idea of being LGBTQ+.

LGBTQ+ people are easily the nicest and most welcoming people I've ever met. I've developed so many Found Family members and I feel really blessed to find a community for me.

This. The barest acknowledgement of LGBT folks sends the rightwing into a tizzy.

It's fun to watch

Well, you know us trans people, we're all the time being ornery.
