Florida’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization on Wednesday issued a rare travel advisory warning the queer community against coming to the state. “Florida may not be a safe place to move or visit,” Florida Equality’s memorandum’s headline blared in capital letters.
In a statement accompanying the warning, the group said that the “extraordinary step” was being taken in response to a wave of safety inquiries it had received “following the passage of laws that are hostile to the LGBTQ community, restrict access to reproductive health care, repeal gun safety laws, foment racial prejudice, and attack public education by banning books and censoring curriculum.
How is this America in 2023, so sad.
Can I get the playbook for how Florida did this?
Unsafe due to lack of abortion care, books that aren't allowed in elementary schools, supporting the 2nd amendment etc... This sounds pretty darn good compared to what is happening in cities they are not issuing travel advisories for.
It’s is really sad it’s come to this.
I guess this mean my work day will be shorter because of lighter traffic. So win-win.
PaulaChertok Same for pregnant women or women of child bearing age.
It's not like Florida depends on tourism for nearly all of its income or anything. /s Dictator Desantis is doing an excellent job of alienating people.
Fuckin Florida! 🤬🤦🏼♂️
Thank you. We don’t need any more mental illness in Florida
How do I get my state on this list?
