00:00I am part of the LGBTQ plus community and as are many of my friends that remain in the GCIC schools

00:06The policies that you are proposing are putting them in danger. So what are we afraid of? No, let me rephrase

00:12What are you afraid of?

00:14By implementing these policies we're preventing our kids the kids who are trusted into your care from getting the help and support that they need

00:21Now I have a question

00:22Are you ready to be responsible for even one child taking their life or may or being made to feel that that's their only choice

00:28We hear the message you're sending with these policies

00:31We feel them every day as we walk through the doors to school with these new policies

00:36You will alienate them even more from getting help. So they feel that suicide is their only escape

00:41So I ask no, I beg of you to help these kids entrusted into your care. Help my friends

00:46Don't tell them that they should be erased
