As tensões aumentaram quando um conselho escolar de Miami emitiu um quase retumbante não a uma moção que reconheceria outubro como o Mês da História LGBTQ – a ponto de a segurança ter que intervir com os participantes.

After listening to more than three hours of angry debate, with one side likening the measure to student indoctrination and the other talking about how Nazis ostracized gays and lesbians with a pink triangle, the Miami-Dade School Board voted late Wednesday evening to slap down a measure recognizing October as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer History Month and teaching 12th graders about two landmark Supreme Court cases impacting the LGBTQ communities.

Maxx Fenning, president and founder of the nonprofit PRISM FL, which provides sexual health information to LGBTQ+ youth, likened opposition to the measure to how Nazis ostracized gay people by making them wear a pink triangle badge to reflect their sexual orientation.
