Pride, prejudice and PTA meetings: A guide for LGBTQ+ families this school year
Briefly

The 2024 back-to-school season reveals ongoing legislative attempts to restrict LGBTQ+ discussions in schools, as seen in Louisiana and Wyoming's passage of restrictive laws. However, a significant number of similar bills have failed, showcasing resistance against discrimination.
Family Equality has achieved notable victories against harmful legislation, including nullifying aspects of Florida's controversial laws and receiving support from federal judges affirming the unconstitutionality of certain regulations, highlighting the effectiveness of advocacy.
Voter backlash against anti-LGBTQ+ candidates has been evident as communities reject school board candidates from groups like Moms for Liberty, reflecting a growing support for inclusivity and acknowledgment of LGBTQ+ rights in educational settings.
The current environment illustrates that, despite facing challenges, the unity among LGBTQ+ families, advocates, and supportive leaders is proving effective in pushing back against discriminatory policies at different governmental levels.
