The version of Ron DeSantis’s “anti-woke” Florida seems to include restrictions on some people’s speech.
The Republican state representative made the comments during debate over a bill that would restrict access to bathrooms, changing facilities, and more.
Imagine needing to go to the bathroom and being confronted by a stranger about why you’re there. That’s how it is for trans people in Florida under the state’s bathroom law.
The bills include an expansion of "don't say gay," a ban on gender-affirming care, restrictions on bathroom use, and restrictions on drag shows.
As DeSantis announces his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, we review how he's attacked LGBTQ+ people and other marginalized communities.
State lawmakers have targeted gender-affirming care, pronouns, and are even trying to expand "don't say gay" to all grade levels.
“If you pass this bill today, know that you’re forcing me to use the bathroom with your daughters, wives, mothers, and sisters,” a bearded transgender man told the lawmakers.
