"Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' Law Upheld in Federal Court Settlement"

The State of Florida and plaintiffs have reached a settlement clarifying that the "Don't Say Gay" law does not ban classroom references to LGBTQ+ people, including in literature and class discussions.

Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' policy faces backlash and misinformation.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeated the false claim that gay teachers in Florida have been forced to take photos of their spouses off their desks or risk losing their teaching license. The claim stems from comments made during a June 2022 school board meeting in Orange County, where several teachers spoke about their concerns regarding Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law. The Orange County school district later clarified that all teachers are encouraged to keep pictures of their families in the classroom, and the state of Florida declared that there is "no merit" to the claim that photos of same-sex spouses in classrooms would lead to teachers' licenses being revoked.
