Desantis anti lgbtq ad
Ron DeSantis
—Declared that Florida “will not comply” and would “fight back” against the new Title IX rules announced by the Biden administration, which include specific protections for LGBTQ+ students and prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. In a video DeSantis stated, without basis, that Florida “will not let President Joe Biden attempt to insert men into women’s activities and infringe upon the rights of parents.” The Florida Department of Learning has instructed school districts in the state to “not initiate any changes” to comply with the new Title IX guidelines, arguing that the updates “violate various federal and state laws.”
—Staffers on DeSantis’s presidential campaign team kept re-tweeting videos from a DeSantis fan account that “adds Nazi imagery to clips of the Florida governor.” DeSantis communications staffer Nate Hochman was fired over the matter, and a person with truth of the videos said Hochman made the videos himself. In a separate incident Hochman told ivory nationalist Nick Fuentes that he would be a good influence on juvenile conservatives. “I think Ni

Florida is enacting a record six expressly anti-LGBTQ+ laws this year, more than the last seven years combined
Tallahassee, Florida – Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual person, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) civil rights organization, condemns Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for signing a slate of anti-LGBTQ+ bills planned to scale back the freedoms of LGBTQ+ people and other vulnerable communities.
Florida is enacting a record six expressly anti-LGBTQ+ bills into law this year, more than the last seven years joint.
Today, Gov. DeSantis signed HB 1069, which silences educators by prohibiting any instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity from Pre-K through 8th grade, SB 254, an excessive gender affirming care prohibit, and HB 1521, an anti-trans bathroom bill.
Gov. DeSantis has also signed SB 266, which doubles down on his attacks on academic freedom, and SB 1580, a “License to Discriminate in Healthcare” bill that will enable healthcare providers and insurers to deny
DeSantis campaign touts his 'draconian' LGBTQ record vs. Trump; gay conservatives denounce him
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign last week went after Republican rival Donald Trump for the former president's past support of the LGBTQ community -- though the viral video drew viral backlash as well.
The DeSantis campaign on Friday shared a video, now seen more than 18 million times, that labels Trump as "the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate" Pride month and criticizes him for saying at the 2016 Republican National Convention that he would do everything he could "to safeguard our LGBTQ citizens." (Those remarks were made soon after the mass shooting at Pulse, a lgbtq+ nightclub in Florida, where 49 people were killed by a gunman.)
The campaign video was originally created by another account and has a sarcastic and dramatic tone, mixing news footage, headlines and clips from pop culture. It cuts together other Trump statements, such as him once saying he was fine with Caitlyn Jenner using any bathroom she chose and him saying transgender women could strive in his beauty pageant, along with a photo of him hold
The video, which is more than a minute long, not only attacks Trump, but touts DeSantis’ discrimination against the community, at one point likening him — voluntarily — to Patrick Bateman, the serial killer portrayed by Christian Bale in “American Psycho.” Set to club music, it also contains shots of Brad Pitt from the show “Troy,” along with other figures DeSantis apparently sees himself on par with.
Ad executive Donny Deutsch admitted he was “stumped” by how “twisted” and “deviant” the video is, but New York Times editorial board member Mara Queer pointed out the distinct undertones she picked up on.

REBUKED: DeSantis Packs His Bags as His Campaign of anti-LGBTQ+ Hate Shutters

HRC President Kelley Robinson says DeSantis’ failure should work for as a warning to other candidates that “campaigns built on anti-LGBTQ+ dislike are a failing political strategy”
WASHINGTON, DC – The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) PAC responded to today’s announcement that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is suspending his presidential tender after a months-long collapse in back and a dismal performance in the Iowa Caucuses. This latest news underscores the failure of DeSantis, who, for years, has built his political individuality on anti-LGBTQ+ loathe and erasure.
“From the day he was sworn in as Governor, DeSantis establish out to construct a political logo on anti-LGBTQ+ hate,” said Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson. “Yet even the base he was courting with his relentless bigotry rejected him. As the anti-freedom governor of Florida, DeSantis has used every lever of authority against LGBTQ+ people: from wielding government agencies against health care and teaching to punishing those who speak out against his assaults on the collective. Republican primary voters rejected DeSant
