Reading now: 346
In Tuesday's election, a controversial Florida school board member lost her seat after student activists rallied to replace her.
Her removal comes during a time when Florida has become a flash point for LGBTQ+ people.Flagler School Board member Jill Woolbright lost to challenger Sally Hunt in her first reelection bid.
In 2020, Woolbright was elected to finish the term of another member who had left the board, beating her opponent with almost 60 percent of the vote.
This year, however, she lost by a narrow margin: Hunt won 51 percent to her 49 percent. Jack Petocz, 17, is a Florida student and political strategist with Gen-Z for Change, whose activism led to a mass walkout this spring to protest the state's "don't say gay" law.

Freedoms for LGBTQ+ & All Americans Are on the Ballot: Make a Plan to Vote
Today is National Voter Registration Day, a chance to unite as a country in our democracy, and around the issues important to LGBTQ people and all Americans.GLAAD polling of LGBTQ voters has consistently shown our top concerns are the same as most Americans: abortion, healthcare, jobs and the economy, and climate change. The lives of LGBTQ people and especially queer people of color are deeply affected by these issues, and they are rooted in values every American cherishes: freedom, health and safety, love for our children, and a desire for a more prosperous future.GLAAD urges the media to include LGBTQ voices in the campaign conversation.
