A Florida conservative activist erupted at a Duval County school board meeting after a teacher mentioned his husband baked brownies for his class. Wearing an American flag vest, Margie Massoudi asked, “What public school have hired that man to come and teach that to those innocent children?” She then read Matthew 18:6, a Bible verse about drowning offenders, before time ran out. Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law doesn’t bar teachers from mentioning same-sex spouses, but it’s been used to target LGBTQ+ educators. The moment underscored how queer teachers remain under attack for simply existing openly in classrooms.
