A group of high school students in Kentucky are fighting for the rights of their LGBTQ peers after two were forced out of pride shirts.
A group of high schoolers in Kentucky are speaking out against their administration after two students were forced to change out of their LGBTQ pride shirts because of claims that they violated the dress code.
Now, Jessica and other allies in the junior and senior classes are banning together to fight on behalf of the LGBTQ students who are trying to earn respect and tolerance within their school community. One of the students who wore a shirt hasn’t even come out to their family. Vance, Jessica and another student going by the pseudonym Stacy tell Yahoo Lifestyle that they all were extremely upset with the initial explanation given to their peers about why they were being forced to change their shirts. But when Jessica and Stacy went directly to the school’s principal to speak with her about the issue on Monday, they received another disappointing response.
“It was basically just [the principal] saying that we don’t need to advertise our orientations on a big billboard because that puts a target on us for bullying,” Jessica shares. “She also said we didn’t need a GSA because we already know who our friends are that support us.”
