Businesses Oppose Florida's ‘Don't Say Gay' Ban on Discussion of LGBTQ Issues in Public Schools
The decision in Tampa is the latest fallout from laws passed by Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature and championed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis over the past two years. The first law, dubbed “Don't Say Gay” by critics, was passed last year and prohibited classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in lower grades.

A zookeeper who saw them building a nest and trying to incubate an egg-shaped rock gave them an egg from a different penguin pair with two eggs after they were having difficulty hatching more than one egg at a time. The chick cared for by the male penguins was named Tango.
