The posters declared, “Everyone is Welcome!”
Laminated, with rainbow billowing across the top right corner and three cartoon people in a friendly embrace in the bottom left, the poster advertised the launch of Fowlerville High School’s inclusivity club. The club was a space meant to “unite LGBTQ+, multicultural, and allied youth” to form a stronger sense of community.
But unity felt faraway at Fowlerville High to some LGBTQ+ students, where schoolmates tore the inclusivity club’s posters down, said Gavin Tschirret, 17, who graduated from Fowlerville High in the spring.
