Bridget Ziegler, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, has undergone a notable transformation from her days as a socialite partying with a circle of gay friends and lover of RuPaul Drag Race to becoming a conservative education activist championing anti-LGBTQ+ policies. Nishit Patel, one of Ziegler's former pals from the queer circle, recalls fond memories of their time together but notes a shift in her political stance over the years. Zara Barrie, a lesbian author, podcaster, and life coach, is another former acquaintance who has expressed disappointment at seeing Ziegler become associated with anti-LGBTQ+ legislation like the "Don't Say Gay" bill. Barrie remembers Ziegler as warm and accepting. Barri mentions that Ziegler was very well aware of her being a lesbian and was never uncomfortable around her girlfriend, either. Rather they all were attached to hip culture those days. Gabriele Harris, another friend, recalls a time when Ziegler was not politically inclined. Ziegler's marriage to Christian Ziegler and subsequent appointment to the Sarasota school board marked a turning point in her public profile, with her support for anti-LGBTQ+ policies drawing criticism from former associates. Al Ferguson, a prominent media personality, reflects on Ziegler's past as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, juxtaposing it with her current role in conservative activism. #Queer Up Education
