Javier Gomez, a recent high school graduate from Florida, spoke Wednesday at the White House's Pride Month celebration.

Mr. Gomez helped organize the recent student walkouts over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's Parental Rights in Education bill, also known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, which bans instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. close
