Shannon Rodriguez is a FL school board member who says God appointed her to “keep these minorities from infiltrating.” She's one of Gov Ron #DeSantis's #Christian soldiers, enforcing yesterday's 4-bill "#SlateOfHate" that's driving #LGBTQ people out of the state.

What did God tell Rodriguez to do? Get a teacher criminally investigated as a child abuser for showing a Disney film. I kid you not! The teacher is gone and her 5th graders are scared.

Last night I spoke to a group about the Indiana #SlateOfHate.

And my internal reaction is just shocked that cis folks either aren't aware that major political figures are now openly calling for the total eradication of people like me or else don't think that counts as hate.
