NEW YORK — Florida’s largest LGBTQ civil rights group has issued a travel advisory for the state.
Several bills in the state legislature aim to restrict education, programming or curriculum relating to sexual orientation or gender identity in state schools and limit access to transgender health care for people under 18. “While losing conferences, and top students who have written off Florida threatens lasting damage to our state, it is most heartbreaking to hear from parents who are selling their homes and moving because school censorship, book bans and health care restrictions have made their home state less safe for their children,” said Nadine Smith, Equality Florida executive director, in a statement.
In his election night speech in November, DeSantis asserted:"We reject woke ideology ... We will never, ever surrender to the woke agenda. People have come here because of our policies." “Any attempt to intentionally erase or misrepresent Black History is a direct attack on the foundation of comprehensive education,” said NAACP Board of Directors Chairman Leon W. Russell.
“It’s a pure stunt and fine, if you want to waste your time on a stunt, that’s fine,” DeSantis said. “But I’m not wasting my time on your stunt.”

One bill proposes prosecuting legal resident who hide or transport those in the country illegally. As a result of that, another group has come out with a travel advisory for people coming to state. The Florida Immigrant Coalition wants people to know they might face problems if the law is passed. They join two other groups Equality Florida and The NAACP which has come out with similar warnings...to not come to Florida. Oh, no! Less libs moving here? That sucks. Florida is looking to pass a law that if you’re legal and you hide/aid/abet, and transfer illegals, you will be charged. I guess that will hurt the sex trafficking business. Does that mean less people will come to Florida? Yay if it does!!!
