Today, in response to the death of Nex Benedict, we at It Gets Better joined more than 350 LGBTQ+ orgs, civil rights groups, and public figures in calling on Oklahoma legislative leadership to immediately remove Ryan Walters as the state’s superintendent of public instruction; and to launch an investigation into the Department of Education.

All youth should feel support and encouragement at school, not bullying and harassment. Nex Benedict is not with us today, because those who are responsible for education in the state of Oklahoma have enabled a climate of hate and bigotry that led to Nex’s death.

Some proof that there ARE elected officials out there, like Vice Mayor Sean Cummings in Oklahoma, who are standing up for LGBTQ+ youth like Nex Benedict and calling out the fact that our words and rhetoric DO matter.

Don't take this lying down! Fuck Tumblr feeding AI our posts. Opt-out now! Leave them nothing to work with.

hi everyone, my dad and his siblings have been desperately trying to get my aunt and her whole family out of gaza. I’ve watched him have multiple breakdowns over seeing the conditions they’re living in. they haven’t seen each other in person in literal decades. my aunt’s home in gaza city was completely destroyed and her family have had to repeatedly flee from the devastation. they deserve a better life than this, her kids deserve a better future than this.

I'll probably be keeping a journal of sorts, with some daily updates. I'll be using the tag "#the jam to end all jams" on any post relating to this, in case you don't want to see anything about it
