Videos of Goldberg’s speech have gone viral on social media, receiving hundreds of thousands of views. Also on Tuesday, during its regular meeting, the LAUSD board unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

It “proclaims and commemorates June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, October as LGBTQ+ History Month, as well as October 11th as National Coming Out Day, November 20th as Transgender Day of Remembrance, March 31st as Transgender Day of Visibility, and April 12th as Day of Silence.” The resolution also encourages schools to incorporate LGBTQ+ lessons throughout the year.
