October is LGBTQ history month and I’m doing high school online. Look at history textbooks, you wouldn't know LGBTQ people had anything to do with building our nation. And that's a problem. LGBTQ people have existed throughout history, but our absence from our nation’s classrooms is teaching all students that LGBTQ people do not exist and therefore not a part of America’s history. This national problem in education allows misunderstanding and fear about LGBTQ people to continue, resulting in discrimination, violence, and bullying in our schools. Visibility and representation have the power to change this. So VOTE if you can. And if you can’t, use your voice to SHOUT OUT because we need CHANGE. There’s some great resources for students on the @glsen website, also at unerased.org #vote #lgbtqrights #queerkid #dragteen #queerteen #dragqueen @opheliapeaches @maccosmetics @colgbtqcc @outfrontmagazine @outfrontmagazine @dragoutthevote @queerteenpride @queer.cosmetics @history_unerased
