Ron DeSantis goes on rant, speaks out regarding Don't say Gay bill

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hit back Friday against misrepresentations of the state’s new bill prohibiting instruction on LGBTQ topics to young children.

Critics have labeled HB 1557 the “Don’t Say Gay Bill,” accusing Republicans of endangering LGBTQ youth by outing them to their parents or preventing them from learning about their sexuality. DeSantis pushed back on this framing during a press briefing on Friday.
