Jennifer and Courtney look for 🌈 rainbows in the storm ⛈️ of LGBTQ+ erasure stirred up by the bloated orange Fanta himself 🍊👀. From rainbow-chalk resistance 🖍️🌈 at the DeSantis-erased Pulse memorial 🕯️, to lawsuits ⚖️🔥 torching the unconstitutional bans on gender-affirming care 🏳️‍⚧️💊—and, because it’s Florida 🐊☀️, an alligator 🐊 and Jello gender reveal 🎉🍮—they spotlight resilience 💪, resistance ✊, and joy 😍, topped off with a heartwarming 💖 read of When Aidan Became a Brother 🌈📖 by Kyle Lukoff and Kaylani Juanita.

In this episode, Jennifer and Courtney discuss 📚 the recent court ruling about Florida’s Book Banning/“Don’t Say Gay” Law 🏛️🌈:

👉 On August 13, 2025, a federal court struck down key parts of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” HB 1060 law, saying books can’t be banned just for including LGBTQ+ content 🚫📖.

👉 That doesn’t automatically put books like When Aidan Became a Brother 👦🏳️‍🌈 back on shelves, but it gives parents, students, and teachers stronger legal ground ✊ to fight for them.

👉 It’s a big reminder of why intellectual freedom matters 🗽 and why students should be able to read diverse stories 🌍📚.

✨ Action step: Check with your child’s school media specialist 🏫—do they have this book? If not, ask them to get it! 🙌
