Unless you’re living under a rock (do we distribute print there?), it’s no secret that Florida’s Republican lawmakers — who make up the supermajority of the state Legislature — have made LGBTQ+ folks a target, passing policies governing everything from education to bathroom use to healthcare access. Since 2021, when Florida lawmakers passed a bill targeting trans athletes — later signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis — Republicans in the state have gained more power. And this year, they’ve unveiled what Equality Florida has dubbed a “slate of hate bills,” driven in no small part by DeSantis’ stated priorities, including the “protection” of children from queerness, as he prepares to (likely) run for president in 2024.
