LGBTQ+ Floridians, their families, and their supporters arrived in the state capital today to start two days of what organizers are calling pride, passion, and resistance. These people are 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.
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.
The current outlook represents a fast and remarkable turnaround in the Florida political landscape.
