It breaks my heart that there’s parts of my country that’s no longer safe for me to visit. Governments should do everything they can to protect their citizens but in Florida they’re activity trying to make it unsafe for anyone who’s not a straight white cisgender man. Anger and sorrow don’t bring to describe how I feel.

Are you a doctor who hates treating gay people? Come to Florida, where Ron DeSantis has legalised bigotry

The sunshine state’s healthcare professionals will soon be able to deny treatment on religious or moral grounds. Thanks a bunch, governor, writes Arwa Mahdawi

I’m sitting here reading about how it’s unsafe for me to visit Florida while my sister is in the same room helping a client book a visit to Disney World. This reality feels so wrong it’s making feel ill.

@SailorDisco
may I ask you if you would mind including the "I" in the LGBTQIA+?
it's so sad to see how even the queer community in the US doesn't seem to know about intersex people.
The existence of intersex people as a biological fact is probably the most ignored human fact in the USA which leads to hundreds of unnecessary surgeries on babies(!). All just because the parents and doctors never heard of the normality of intersexual existence...
Would you help a little bit by including the I ?
Thank you very much for your consideration and best wishes!

@SailorDisco My suggestion?
Carowins in Charlotte could use the competition.

@SailorDisco I share your anger and sorrow — add some nausea and dread. I’m from Florida and I still have family there. When the bathroom bill goes into effect on July 1, that seals it. The queer members of my family won’t be able to go home.

@ScruffyJunco I feel for you and your family. I also feel for queer people in the state who may not be able to get out of they want to.
