She captures my feelings so incredibly well.

Nobody in any of the schools is saying to kids that they should be gay or trans. All they are saying is that some gay and trans people exist, deserve to live, and be treated with respect.

Arguments of people who don't afford basic respect to others do not need to be respected.

So great to see someone in authority speaking it passionately in support of LGBTQ+ rights. Even better that they are LGBTQ+ themselves.

yeah, as far as i know Jackie Goldberg is the real deal and a very cool person even though she's like 80. for example, iirc she's a card-carrying member of DSA
