Over 20 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have died in Florida after the legislature adjourned Sine Die on Friday, leaving some wondering if energy is waning over anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ legislation.
A few short years to ruin a state... how many decades to put everything right again?
I wonder if Florida has seen a significant downturn in tourism because of this bullshit culture war, and that might have more to do with why Republicans down there let their latest round of mustache-twirling villainy die on the vine. I somehow doubt they stopped because they spontaneously grew a sense of compassion... it makes more sense if Ronny-boy's little crusade is hurting the bottom line.
A pic of DeSatan as a 70s cartoon criminal popped in my head when you described "mustache-twirling villiany"!! I know you probably didn't intend for it to be funny but that's where my brain went with it. Thanks for the laugh!
Hell yeah! Florida's still not totally safe of course, but this is a huge victory nonetheless! I am so happy to have some good news like this, I really needed it!
Nadine is truly a force of nature. Lucky to call her a friend. Even though my wife & I moved out of FL several years ago, we continue to support Equality FL proudly for their outstanding advocacy for LGBTQ people everywhere. These organizations, like EQFL & HRC need our physical and financial support (in any amount you can). They are making a difference in our lives. Thank you, Erin!!
Hurrah! This is huge. Could they finally be getting the message that anti-trans and anti-LGBT bills are not popular with the public? This definitely shows they really don't care.
As a Floridian who is doing her best to fight back but never thinks it’s enough, this gives me SO much hope. We will continue to push back and next session we will be even more prepared. Thanks for reporting this, Erin!
Thank you Erin for the great reporting! Finally, some good news out of what has been so far the worst, or one of the worst, states for anti-trans legislation. The virulence of the legislation and bills that remain is awful, however. Among the worst is the drivers license moves by the DHSMV. Are there any efforts ongoing to try to overturn or counter that?
I’ve said it before. These reactionaries have to be tabbed as perverts for being so obsessed with other people’s gender identities and sexual orientations. Why are they so obsessed? What is it to them unless they’re home jacking off? They should be asked to explain their obsession on every occasion they present themselves. Look at how Raichik imploded after being asked the simple question of basically what’s it to you? She was babbling about “truth” like a mental patient.
Let's keep this momentum going across all states!
It could be because people like you are shining a light on the evil. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. I’ll call that a win!
I’m pre-transition, and I hope this hopium is injected into my system just like Estrogen will be!!!!111oneone
Awareness is the key. Erin your great reporting is so powerful! Great job!
Ty so much

I think the most important part is, we may be seeing the bottom. I hope so.
Nadine Smith is a true leader. Somehow, she always says something that makes me feel a little better.

Congratulations on your efforts to bring awareness to these nasty bills and stop them in their tracks. Hope this tidal wave of GOP hate is subsiding.
