Tallahassee Democrat: Gov. DeSantis signs transgender athlete ban on first day of ‘Pride Month’
The Florida bill is among a series of transgender athlete laws advanced in Republican-controlled states.
The timing of this sure seems deliberate. The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization, says they will be “filing a lawsuit to block this arbitrary, discriminatory ban.”
By signing a heartless ban on transgender kids in sports, @GovRonDeSantis is marginalizing an entire community.
Signing it on the first day of #Pride2021 is especially cruel.
Florida should stand for inclusivity, equality, and liberty — not peddling hate for political points.
