Florida's Anti-LGBTQ Laws Continue to Harm Transgender Community.

Families in Florida are fleeing the state due to a slate of new laws signed by Governor Ron DeSantis targeting the LGBTQ community, including a ban on gender-affirming health care for transgender people under 18 and a ban on the use of preferred pronouns in public schools. Civil rights groups have issued travel advisories for LGBTQ tourists to reconsider plans to visit the state, and some transgender families are placing their children in private schools. NBA superstar Dwyane Wade announced that he had moved his family to California in part because he feared his transgender teenage daughter “would not be accepted or feel comfortable” in Florida.
