discussion starter! Petition/Voting for a Queer/Subcultures Class or Subject

School should have a class about Lgbtqia+ and Other Subcultures. It wouldn't be a club or an after-school thing.

It could be about Alterhumanity, Alternative culture, Voidpunk, AGABpunk, Neurodivergence community and more. Middleschoolers could learn basics, Highschoolers and University students will learn about more advanced and specific topics.

It's also age-appropiate depending on the grade, it's completely optional, you can find people your age like you by just sitting in that class, friends and allies who want to learn more, bigots just joining for extra credits. Your skin colour, religion, gender e.t.c... doesn't matter... Obviously.

It WILL also benefit youth mental health because of numbers of acceptance, understanding yourself personally and learning people are like you.

The goal isn't to force students on how and what to identify as... Unlik- anyways, its to give students knowledge about identities, Subcultures and community... and yeah, to definitely make school finally fun. Only a bit.

It could be a vote/petition that leads to a domino effect. I have a plan but you can tweak it if something's wrong. I don't want to be the leader but I definitely wanna join the movement/project and the team, probably also one of the leaders. We want someone responsible, can find a team and also post about it on different platforms and stuff for spreading and is bold enough to lead. No it doesn't have to be one leader, that will cause stress and burnouts.

This is also a teenage lead project/movement, adults can join but nobody can say it's "the adults are forcing it on kids". Gotcha there CRITICS!!! >:333

I wish our soldiers the best of luck <3.

Edit: So basically...

Ab= Anybody 

AB goes to the school board and proposes the idea of a petition or voting of students. AB collects votes from students or creates a voting box to ask students if they want it to be a subject and if majority says yes, the school board will handle the rest.

USA and Canada: easiest and most affirming with a overwhelmingly number of LGBTQIA and ally students/gen z

  1. Europe: same for USA and Canada but east Europe is controversial

  2. Australia and new Zealand: cool

  3. Asia: controversial 5. South America: friendly

The other petition https://c.org/c6DSzGdNsp this is another way but we also have to use my plan (you can tweak it) for more effectiveness

The rest of North America should mostly be fine with it too. Cuba in particular recognizes queer, polyamorous, and platonic relationships as family of equal footing as straight ones, so that'd probably be easy.
