This is what LGBTQ people have been told for years—just reversed: “It’s okay to be gay, just don’t act on it.” And more often than not, it comes from religious people in their soft, Sunday School voice.

This phrase has never been spoken out of kindness. It’s always about control, dressed up as morality.

What it’s asking is for people to live half a life—you’re allowed to exist, but not to love, not to build relationships, not to be whole. Basically: be who we *need* you to be, not who you really *are*.

Turn that same message around on straight people and it immediately sounds ridiculous. Because it is.

Florida City Police say Grether Leidy Guadarramas Peña, 41, was arrested after allegedly attacking her son with a knife when she discovered messages on his computer indicating he was gay.

According to the arrest report, family members found the boy’s private Discord messages and shared them with Peña before she came home.

When she saw the messages, she allegedly pulled her minor son into the kitchen, forced his arm onto the counter, and cut him with a knife. Another family member was asked to help restrain him but stopped after realizing the boy was being injured. Investigators also say after slicing him with the knife she used scissors to cut off his hair.

The arrest did not come as a result of a 911 call. Instead, the boy reported it to a teacher at school, which led to the investigation.

Grether Leidy Guadarramas Peña has been charged with felony child abuse. At her initial court appearance, a Miami-Dade judge found probable cause to hold her in jail.

Gay kids do not brace for familial rejection without a reason. That fear is built over time—through what is said, what is condemned, and what is never made safe to talk about. By the time something is discovered, some already expect the worst.

Most families will never reach this level of harm. But many LGBTQ kids still grow up understanding that being honest about who they are could change how they are treated, or whether they are accepted at all.

In this case, the place that finally felt safe enough to tell the truth wasn’t home. It was a classroom.

If you or someone you know may be experiencing abuse, help is available. If anyone you know is in immediate danger, call 911.

For LGBTQ+ youth in crisis or needing support, the Trevor Project is available 24/7 by calling or texting 988 or 1-866-488-7386, or through online chat.
