Rowan Blanchard and Emma Gonzalez are celebrating the start of pride month!
The 16-year-old A Wrinkle in Time and the 18-year-old MSD student spoke on a panel at the 2018 Teen Vogue Summit on Saturday (June 2) at The New School in New York City.
The young activists kicked off the panel by asking the crowd, “Our big question is… Who here is queer?!”
“It’s a good month to be gay,” Emma added after there were a bunch of cheers in the audience.
During the panel, Emma and Rowan chatted about the challenges of activism. You can watch the full video below.
Rowan was joined at the event by her Girl Meets World co-star Corey Fogelmanis while Emma was joined by MSD classmates Jaclyn Corin and Sarah Chadwick.
Students who were celebrating their last day of school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., today are sharing their thoughts after finding out about the shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas.
The Parkland student survivors and March for Our Lives organizers expressed their sorrow and called for change via Twitter on Friday (May 18).
“Santa Fe High, you didn’t deserve this,” Emma Gonzalez wrote. “You deserve peace all your lives, not just after a tombstone saying that is put over you. You deserve more than Thoughts and Prayers, and after supporting us by walking out we will be there to support you by raising up your voices.”
“We are fighting for you,” David Hogg shared, while Jaclyn Corin added, “My heart is so heavy for the students of Santa Fe High School. It’s an all too familiar feeling no one should have to experience. I am so sorry this epidemic touched your town – Parkland will stand with you now and forever.”
Ten have been killed in the new shooting, and several others have been injured, CNN reports, adding that is the 22nd U.S. school shooting this year, and the third time in eight days that a gunman was on a school campus.
