It has been a long and painful month in the Florida legislature for opponents of the state’s Trumpist governor Ron DeSantis and his loyal band of rightwing Republicans. A slew of bills has advanced attacking everything from diversity rights, abortion protections and free speech in schools, in addition to a proposal that would legally shield white people from feeling “discomfort” over the state’s racist past.....
The issues that Republicans see as a priority for Florida are red meat to DeSantis’s conservative base. They include the 15-week abortion ban bill, which received a chaotic hearing on Thursday, and moves to give parents more say over classroom curriculum and control of school libraries. In Polk county this week, education officials went from school to school pulling 16 books flagged by a conservative parents’ group as inappropriate, including Khaled Hosseini’s 2003 bestseller The Kite Runner.
They include bills to strengthen the governor’s fierce anti-immigrant stance .....
And two healthcare bills have been introduced in the Republican-dominated Florida legislature that opponents say further vilifies and isolates the LBGTQ community. One, touted as the vulnerable child protection act, would criminalize professionals who provide gender-affirming medical care to minors; the other would allow any medical professional the right to refuse treatment or procedures including gender affirming surgery or abortions on moral grounds.....
The proposal that has caused perhaps the most outrage is the parental rights in education bill, the so-called Don’t Say Gay bill that would prohibit elementary schools from discussing sexuality and gender identity other than in an unspecified “age or developmentally appropriate” settings, and would allow parents to sue.

So gender affirming surgery is ok with libs
(I think I’m a woman-cut my d*ck off doc!...Doc:”OK!”)
but gender affirming consoling is not?
(I don’t want these homosexual thoughts doc, can you help me?....Doc: “NO WAY! Conversion therapy is wrong!”)
The guardian a LEFT WING RAG.
Maybe someone can explain to me what “diversity rights” are??
What a load of codswallop!
I think every possible propaganda trope is in this article!
It is the FURTHEST out of ALL newspapers, not just UK.
It is what they use as a textbook in Uni to teach journalism
From your lips to God's ears, but I suspect we'll have a much longer time frame before such things happen, and we'll be marching through Hell in the meantime, hopefully without the awful mistake of having Nikki Fried or Charlie Crist as governor.
Count me unimpressed.
Take Abortion
The “conservatives” in Florida want to keep it legal up to 15 weeks.
Keeping murder legal. That’s barbaric.
And the great thing is Ron is just getting started!!
Where is the barf alert on this?
