"Tragic Deaths and Bathroom Bills: The Impact on Students and Families"
TL;DR
The parents of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old student who died after a fight at Owasso High School, have confirmed that Nex was non-binary. They apologized for misidentifying their child and asked for understanding as they learn the correct forms. The school has confirmed details of the case, but investigators have not yet determined if Nex's death was a result of the fight. Rural Oklahoma Pride will hold a candlelit service in honor of Nex.
