"Don't Say Gay": Florida schools purge library books with LGBTQ characters

In March 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed into law the Parental Rights in Education Act, which critics dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill. DeSantis angrily accused the media of promoting a "false narrative," insisting the bill does not prohibit mentioning LGBTQ people in Florida schools.

@juddlegum Florida needs for the DNC to not ignore us. Our candidates got next to no support or funding in the last election cycle. Thanks to that we got stuck with a governor that has actively tried to kill people through his inaction during the pandemic, ignores the majority of his constituents in favor of corporations (except Disney of course), and the Trump-leaning mouth breathers. I am tired of these Republicans ruining my state.
@Kevralyn @juddlegum that is definitely true. We’ve been blessed by good and sometimes great Democratic candidates like Val Demings, but the way the DNC leaves these candidates to twist in the wind without support is criminal. And that is going to bite the party in the long run. You can’t continue to ignore Democrats in red states.
@cadenza @juddlegum Exactly. If we want the red to turn blue we need to invest time, money, and effort into them. Georgia is getting there. Florida needs help. When you look at the people (even the ones that don't vote) I believe you will see that Florida is more purple than red. We can make a change if the effort is put in.
