House Bill 1557, formerly known as the “Parental Rights in Education” bill, would prevent schools from encouraging classroom discussion about LGBTQ+ people in “primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students”. The legislation, which LGBTQ+ advocates refer to as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, would also allow parents to bring legal action against schools if Florida teachers discuss gender identity and sexuality or even encourage classroom discussion about LGBTQ+ people. Republican representative Joe Harding, who introduced the bill, argued the legislation is about “defending the most awesome responsibility a person can have: being a parent”. However, LGBTQ+ advocates have slammed the bill for trying to ‘erase’ queer people and effectively “policing” the identities of young people in Florida.
