"A Florida school board has voted down an LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination policy after a lengthy meeting this week in which 90 people testified against it.

The Brevard Public Schools board, covering Brevard County on Florida's Atlantic coast, Tuesday voted unanimously against adding sexual orientation and gender identity to nondiscrimination policies covering students and staff, local newspaper Florida Today reports."

"Scott attended Brevard County schools as a child, and he testified that he endured harassment that led him to attempt suicide. LGBT young people need support, he said: "More than anything, their lives matter, and my life mattered, and the children that come after me matter."

In the end, though, these arguments didn't move the school board."

Christians couldn't care less!!!
