Florida schools are still feeling the effects in the first school year of the Parental Rights in Education Act, referred to by critics as 'Don't Say Gay.' And LGBTQ advocates are bracing to fight expansions to the law in 2023.
"We have every reason to believe that will just be one of the legislative fights we could be staring down in Florida's session in March," Stratton Pollitzer, deputy director of St. Petersburg-based LGBTQ rights group Equality Florida, tells Axios.
Equality Florida is stepping up its fight against anti-LGBTQ laws this year, in part by investing in more advertisements. "We're going to need hundreds of thousands of people showing up in our school board meetings, in the Capitol during session and at every one of these hearings. We'll keep chipping away at them," Pollitzer said.Months after the law went into effect last July, schools started making changes to avoid violating the legislation amid increased scrutiny.
