More than a dozen states have proposed the Don\u2019t Say Gay bills that mirror the controversial Florida law, which bars discussion of gender identity or sexual orientation topics for students in kindergarten through third grade. Panelists will consider how such bills will impact the youth they target, and whether those bills rob students\u2019 rights to freedom of speech and confidential health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panelists include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly Keck: UUP SOUL Committee chair; UUP statewide Executive Board member; Delhi Chapter President<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jess Blake: EOP Counselor at SUNY Delhi; co-chair, SUNY Delhi Faculty &amp; Staff of Color Association<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mattie Cerio: Social Worker, Upstate Medical University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luca Jurich: LGBTQ Patient Services Coordinator, Upstate Medical University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sean Massey: Associate Professor, Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Binghamton University; former Binghamton Chapter President<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>London Wright: Staff Therapist and Outreach Coordinator, LeMoyne College, Syracuse<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We urge you and your colleagues to register in advance to attend this meaningful virtual event (see attached flyer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frederick E.
