Florida mayors across the state are speaking out in support of LGBTQ rights in light of several bills targeting the community that have been passed by the state legislature.
At least eight mayors from Orlando, Miami Beach, Tampa, Tallahassee and more have signed the pledge in support of the LGBTQ advocacy organization GLSEN and its Rise Up campaign, according to the group.
He continued, "I support the well-being and healthy development of every person in our community through the guarantee of basic human rights." Trantalis continued, "Discrimination of any kind, particularly towards our LGBTQ+ children, has no place in any part of our society. Greater Fort Lauderdale boasts one of highest concentrations of same-sex households in the nation, and we welcome in an average of over 1.3 million LGBTQ+ visitors each year."
Another bill expands the Parental Rights in Education law, which has been dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" law by critics. This bill would restrict classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation from prekindergarten through grade 8; from grades 9 through 12, such content must be "age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.
