High school students in New Orleans perform play "The Capitol Project" at Louisiana's Capitol to protest anti-LGBTQ+ bills.
High school students in New Orleans performed a play "The Capitol Project" at Louisiana's Capitol to protest anti-LGBTQ+ legislative proposals. The bills, often referred to as "Don't Say Gay" bills, aim to regulate students' pronouns, bathroom usage, and discussions of gender and sexuality in the classroom. Students from Benjamin Franklin High School, who have witnessed the mental health struggles faced by queer students, hope the play can spark empathy and raise awareness of the proposed legislation's impact on their lives.
