Zander Moricz, president of the 2022 Pine View High School graduating class, found a creative way to get around his home state of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law in a graduation speech he gave this week. He used a euphemism, “curly hair,” to discuss how difficult it is to be gay in that benighted state — and other states who followed suit.
Moricz said he was told that to keep within the “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida, he was not allowed to mention that he is a young gay man.
It was an inspiring speech and included this:
There are going to be so many kids with curly hair who need a community like Pine View, and they won’t have one. Instead, they’ll try to fix themselves so that they can exist in Florida’s steamy climate.
Moricz is a plaintiff against Florida’s Don’t Say Gay law (Parental Rights in Education), and we wish him, and all curly-haired people everywhere, all the luck in the world.
People in my family have been practicing don’t say gay before it was ever passed as a law
Bloody brilliant! And yes, Florida is really bad for curly hair, literally AND figuratively!
