TL;DR Summary

A high school LGBTQ+ student club in Florida had scheduled an event called "Drag and Donuts" where a man dressed as a drag queen was to talk about his life as a queer person. However, the event was cancelled after several concerned parents contacted the Orange County School Board. The cancellation was not orchestrated by the board member, but by a parental movement. The event was meant to be an opportunity for students to hear a positive message of acceptance, but the Florida Department of Education questioned whether it was age and developmentally appropriate.
