Florida is the latest state to pass a so-called “Don't Say Gay” bill. We look at that legislation and other state measures passing across the country with two local experts.
in the state, the bill would take effect in July. His office declined CNN’s request for comment on the Senate’s passage Tuesday, instead pointing to remarks he made last week on the legislation.
In addition, the measure would require districts to “adopt procedures for notifying a student’s parent if there is a change in the student’s services or monitoring related to the student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being,” something LGBTQ advocates argue could lead to some students being outed to their parents without the student’s knowledge or consent.
Brandes, along with one other Republican state senator, joined Democrats in voting against the measure Tuesday.During Monday’s debate, the bill’s Senate sponsor, Republican state Sen. Dennis Baxley, said that he was concerned that kids are “experimenting” with sexual orientation and that was part of his motivation for the legislation. The bill’s co-sponsor in the Florida House, Republican state Rep.
After “Saturday Night Live” poked fun at the bill, Christina Pushaw, the governor’s spokeswoman, posted on Twitter that anyone who opposes the bill is “probably a groomer,” in essence smearing those who’ve raised concerns about the bill as sexual predators. Her comments harken back to debunked arguments used by anti-gay activists in recent history to smear and marginalize members of the LGBTQ community.
