When LGBTQ Floridians, their families and their supporters arrive in the state capital Monday to start two days of what organizers are calling pride, passion and resistance, they’re more likely to encounter a brick wall of opposition than a welcome mat and an open door.
In the last two years, the rhetoric and policies flowing from Gov. Ron DeSantis, his administration, and the Republican-controlled state Legislature have left the LGBTQ community, along with family members, friends and employers anxious as they adjust to a new reality and wait to see what comes next from Tallahassee.
“They have just decided to demonize our community. They’re doing it with great success, and no one is stopping them,” said Rand Hoch, founder and president of the LGBTQ rights group Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, which for much of its 35-year existence has worked with — and endorsed — both Democrats and Republicans.
Stephen Gaskill, who in February wrapped up four years as president of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus, said much of the change is caused by DeSantis’ desire to cater to primary voters in other states for his still-unofficial candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
“He’s gone after the LGBTQ community in very personal terms. He’s denying our existence in schools. He’s denying LGBTQ+ kids. He’s denying our existence in books and other media. He’s denying us control over our own bodies and health decisions. He’s denying us life-saving medical care,” Gaskill said.
And warned Todd Delmay, a husband and father who is the new president of the Dolphin Democrats LGBTQ political club, “This toxicity, it’s now leaking. It’s not being contained in Florida. It’s now showing up everywhere.”

The whole freak show alphabet should be confronted on every level until they crawl back in the closet and lock the doors.
The left has shown us how to treat people who disagree with us and it ain’t pretty. How can they not expect to be?
LGBTQPEDO......GO AHEAD!! SHOW YOUR IMMORAL UGLY FACES for ALL to SEE!! SICKO!
Just don’t try to stop them when they deface public roads with their multi colored vandalism.
You’ll end up in their gulags for a “hate crime”.
When you need to lie about “persecution” then none exists.
“In the last two years, the rhetoric and policies flowing from Gov. Ron DeSantis, his administration, and the Republican-controlled state Legislature...”
Yeah rhetoric........try ACTUAL reality jackass......anything or anyone who don’t agree or capitulate with their sick perverted views are who’s hostile. F that I’m sick of it.
They don’t like it move to homofornia.....and that goes for the idiot that wrote this pizza chit story.
Because grooming young children with pornography/gender bs is acceptable to these perverts.
Not so much to normals.
Wars are won with many small engagement.
Everyone of us be engaged.
I am sick of those faggots thinking they should be celebrated. They don’t want to be a normal part of society. They want to be separate and special. That isn’t enough, they want to queer your kids. How much are we expected to tolerate? Wars have been fought over much less. I say put the letter people back in the closet, by force if necessary. They are a detriment to the future of society and should not be allowed a special place at the table.
BS story.
The hug-a-homo crowd has brought more hostility and hate than a bunch of Nazis at a Bar Mitzvah could ever muster.
Now they are predicting that they will face hostility?
The people must travel in a Trojan hearse (yes, HEARSE is what I wrote.).
They should just keep driving until they get to NY.
“… LGBTQ Floridians, their families and …”
And … I cant help but feel bad for the innocent kids born into these situations.
“A rainbow flag symbolizing LGBTQ pride on Sebastian Street, just off Fort Lauderdale beach, was defaced. Fort Lauderdale police said a pickup truck driver left tire tracks in the installation on Feb. 28.”
THANK GOD FOR REDNECKS!!!
Good. Their goal is grooming, which is evil on the most fundamental level.
Gator bait. I’m just sayin’.
the freakshow of deviancy offends me.
yet it’s never pulled from the public square due to causing offense and outrage.
freaks need to go back to california.
I was working as a busboy as an after school job in a hotel in Florida in the 70’s. A literal New York Lawyer was bragging about how he was going to sue this redneck Florida rancher and get all his land. The land was at the headwaters of the St Johns River. The bartender leaned across the bar and told this New Yorker he might want to reconsider because he wouldn’t be the first body fed to the gators in this area. He reminded the lawyer that if you leave someone with nothing to lose that they get creative in solving problems. The rancher could lose his land or pay 5,000 to have the lawyer killed. I know the rancher didn’t lose his land. I don’t know what happened to the lawyer.
Groomer filth.
They demonize themselves by doing it. People are generally tolerant, until it involves their children.
