Senator Al Franken, who also happens to be my good friend Thomasin’s father and a man for whom I have enormous admiration and respect, is fighting to pass a bill that would require schools to protect LGBT students who face threats and bullying (while students are presently protected from harassment based on race and gender, there are no protections in place for children who are bullied based on their gender identity or sexual orientation).
Check out Senator Franken’s message above, and then please take a moment to call the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121 and urge your Senator to sponsor the Student Non-Discrimination Act.
