Alabama lawmakers have advanced legislation that would prohibit teacher-led discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools and also ban Pride flags from being displayed in classrooms. The legislation is part of a wave of laws across the country that critics have dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”

June is Pride Month. The annual commemoration is a time when many LGBTQ+ Americans embrace who they are. However, not every Alabamian may be celebrating this year. Alabamians offer their own advice to those struggling on their queer journey.

Alabama lawmakers seem unlikely to pass a bill restricting school discussions on sexual identity during the last day of 2023 legislative session. The state legislature is poised to meet on Tuesday, June 6th for the 30th and last day of this year’s session.
