Florida expands anti-LGBTQ legislation to all grades.

Florida's Board of Education approved an expansion of the "Don't Say Gay" law, banning classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in all grades, while the House passed bills on gender-transition treatments, bathroom use, and keeping children out of drag shows. The bills include making it a felony to provide gender-affirming health care to transgender minors, banning people from entering bathrooms other than their sex assigned at birth, and revoking the food and beverage licenses of businesses that admit children to adult performances. Critics argue that these bills marginalize LGBTQ+ people and have vague terms that result in self-censorship from teachers.
