Stomping for votes in her longshot bid for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination, former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley is trying to prove she's just as anti-LGBTQ+ as Florida governor Ron DeSantis, one of her likely challengers for the GOP nod. When asked about DeSantis's divisive Parental Rights in Education law, a.k.a. the "don't say gay" law, which bans discussion of gender and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade, Haley told a crowd at a New Hampshire town hall that the legislation is too timid.
Proving that Haley is ready to make LGBTQ+ youth a target in her campaign, the politician gave an interview to FoxNews.com after the town hall, elaborating on her desire to make the mention of gay and transgender people verboten in elementary schools.
Haley's record on LGBTQ+ issues is abysmal. As noted by GLAAD, Haley has said President Joe Biden’s support of transgender rights will destroy women’s sports, saying, “Across the sporting world, the game is being rigged against women and in favor of biological men.” She also opposed marriage equality as both a South Carolina state representative and governor. She has also rejected matching funds for a program offering HIV medication to lower-income patients.
