Growing up, Maia never had openly queer teachers in school who she could look up to and identify with: "Now that I'm a teacher, it's important that all the kids know I'm engaged to a woman and that's not a secret."

My husband (above) and I have spent countless hours discussing why exclusion continues to be a part of our culture. We are especially saddened to hear FL has forced their educators into the #dontsaygay bill. #fuckrickdesantis #spreadlovenothate #gaygagorder #saygay #saygayanyway
My heart aches for students all over our nation today. In Florida - students are now banned from learning about or having discussions with their teachers regarding sexual orientation and gender identity in one of their most delicate development periods. My best friend identifies as #gay and she and I have had many conversations about how she knew she was different from as early as she could remember. Florida’s little ones should learn it’s okay to have “different” feelings and it’s okay for others to have those feelings too. In a time of so much sadness, our resources should be spent on tolerance, inclusion, acceptance, and love - not this nonsense. #repealdontsaygay #itsokaytobegay #spreadlovenothate #gaygagorder #wtfflorida #adagencygaygagorder #cdmpgaygagorder #saygay #saygayanyway

Live Out Loud inspires, nurtures and empowers LGBTQ youth to build a successful future by providing youth with opportunities to interact with adults who understand the realities of living openly as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
Live Out Loud forges these crucial connections through innovative, hands-on initiatives that include their latest campaign: Florida Can’t Gag Me.
This campaign aims to target Florida’s current "Don’t Say Gay Bill" that bans classroom discussions about sexual orientations by doing the complete opposite… amplifying LGBTQ+ stories and headlines. Live Out Loud believes that now is the best time to be loud, vocal, and proud about our LGBTQ+ identity - So, join us!
