BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In a suburb south of Birmingham, Alabama, in one of the most conservative states in the country, a charter school dedicated to fostering LGBTQ+ youth is going into its second year.
Magic City Acceptance Academy, which teaches students in grades six through 12, enrolls more than 230 students and plans to add over a hundred more this fall. Nearly half of these students identify as LGBTQ+.
Magic City Acceptance Academy is a haven within a state that has some of the most restrictive legislation affecting transgender youth. The school has been targeted directly in political ads by two of the states’ current gubernatorial candidates, who say it is an example of how tax dollars were being misspent.
Loki described fearing for their safety when they saw the ads, as well as being angry that these candidates would"use children as a pawn in their politician campaigns."
