DeSantis signs multiple bills restricting transgender rights in Florida.
TL;DR
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed bills that ban gender-affirming care for minors, target drag shows, restrict discussion of personal pronouns in schools, and force people to use certain bathrooms. Democrats opposed the bills, but Republicans have a super-majority in both chambers and easily approved the bills for DeSantis’ signature. The bills have been criticized for denying the rights of parents with transgender kids and for being discriminatory towards the LGBTQ+ community.
