In a series of legislative moves, DeSantis turned the initial days of a month meant for queer celebration into an all too familiar fight against discrimination.
DeSantis kicked off Pride month by signing the state’s controversially-passed trans-exclusionary sports bill into law during an event at Trinity Christian Academy on June 1. The bill prohibits trans girls and women from competing in sports as their identified gender at public schools, colleges and universities in the state.
