  1. >*Youth activist Zander Moricz – a 2022 LGBTQ Nation Hero of the Year – made an epic speech against Moms for Liberty co-founder and Sarasota County School Board member Bridget Ziegler in which he explained to her face why he believes she is awful at her job.*

Bridget Ziegler has since admitted that she, her husband, and her husband’s accuser engaged in a consensual threesome over a year ago. The admission angered many due to Ziegler’s vendetta against LGBTQ+ issues being taught in schools.*

    I so love that Zander is calling out Klanned Karenhood for this. This is so amazing!

    ​

    Zander Moricz is such a treasure, honestly. He has been through so much in the past couple years. He was the kid who was forbidden from saying the word “gay” in his graduation speech as valedictorian, because of Florida’s Don’t Say Gay laws. He had to use his curly hair in place of that. The Christian nationalists of Florida (including Bridget Ziegler) have tried to tarnish him for speaking out against their hateful bigotry. I’m glad to see him have his victory lap now.

  2. It’s 1000% not a problem that the woman is having gay sex. The problem is that she shames others for it, and noting the blatant hypocrisy is an okay response. “It’s wrong for others to enjoy the things I enjoy” is far too common a refrain from extreme puritanical conservatives.

  3. His remarks were a cogent, succinct example of why education matters. Kudos to him!

  5. > He called her out for using her position on the board to spend public funds that could have gone to raising teacher salaries to “change our district lines for political gain, remove books from schools, target trans and queer children, erase Black history, and elevate your political career – all while sending your children to private schools because you don’t believe in the public school system that you’ve been leading.”

    > He then posed a question to the public: Why is Ziegler’s threesome more of a scandal than the way she has used public funds to “harm our teachers and our students for her gain”?

    > Moricz said Zielger does not deserve to be on the school board but also does not deserve to be removed from it because of her threesome.

    I hope Zander Moricz runs for office. We need more people like him and less people like Bridget Ziegler.

  6. How is it possible that the Zieglers haven’t been shamed into finding a deep hole to crawl into–the hypocrisy not the sex. Republicans do not care about getting caught anymore. They simply ignore whatever comes to light and move on to their next grift (or full on illegal activities) with the full support of the GQP.

  8. This is the best thing I’ve read all day. I love it when fascists are called out so thoroughly, expertly, and publicly.

  9. Why be an activist when you can do so much more running for office. We need new blood with a clear conscience and no lobbyists in their pockets.

  11. The biggest problem here is that people like B. ziegler are completely devoid of shame that would have driven most other people to resign.

  15. These religious zealots are the worst fucks out there. Accuse drag queens of being pedophiles but get caught actually being a pedophile? Yup. Abuse your kids in the name of God? Yup. Steal from your fellow “Christians”? Yup. Have secret gay sex but espouse anti-lgbt+ rhetoric? Yup. Cheat on your spouse but lecture about the sanctity of marriage? Yup. And the list goes on.

  16. I know that these things need to be said to their face, but I can’t help but suspect that Ziegler does not give two shits about her hypocrisy. Zander Moricz is a gem of a human being and really lays on thick here for everyone to understand. But it’ll just go over Ziegler’s head, and I’m sure the people who support her find this confrontation more amusing than anything else. They have no shame, and it is frustrating.

  17. I as a senior citizen am inspired & hopeful by the strong and powerful constructive voices coming from the young people today.

  20. >Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the “Don’t Say Gay” law earlier this year. His press secretary has said that anyone who opposes the law is a pedophile.

    The bully in chief.

  21. No porn in public elementary schools makes you a hate group now? I mean, you can lie about all you want, but you progressives got caught putting porn in elementary schools. Progressives are the only people attacking people for their sexuality.

    Old-fashioned bigots are better than progressives because at least they don’t lie about it.
