Probablyyy not a secret that Florida ranks 50th out of 51 states (including D.C.) for LGBTQ+ safety.
But in a state known for silencing queer voices, some amazing South Florida students spoke up.
With the support of one of our It Gets Better: Changemakers grants, they launched Taboo Talk—a student-created video series tackling topics like body image, sexual health, LGBTQ+ rights, and the joy of being seen for who you really are. The pilot episode, along with a special edition filmed at the Florida AIDS Walk, is just the beginning. The team plans to expand the series and make it available to GSAs and classrooms across the country.
Turns out cool stuff happens when LGBTQ+ youth are trusted to lead, create, and connect.
And we want to make more of this happen! Apply for your own Changemakers grant of up to $10,000 by May 5th: itgetsbetter.org/changemakers
