GOP official calls people fleeing Ron DeSantis’s anti-LGBTQ+ Florida “perverted”

A new survey from the Williams Institute has found that droves of Democratic parents have considered leaving Florida since the passage of the Don’t Say Gay law, and the chair of the state’s GOP has a simple response: good riddance.

“Over 60 percent of voters support the actual language in the law, including 55 percent of Democrats,” GOP chair Christian Ziegler told the Washington Examiner. “With that said, if a Democrat voter is passionate and perverted enough to support the sexualization of kids during school in grades as early as kindergarten, then I would agree that Florida is probably not the best fit for them.”

Karen Lauritzen said it has been the hardest year in her 20 years of teaching.

Republicans have used fearmongering of LGBTQ+ people as a major tactic in gaining power in the state (as well as nationally). In response to a downward trend in Democratic voter registration in Florida, Ziegler recently tweeted that “If the Florida Democrat Party wants to fix their registration woes, they should start by ending their vile support for the indoctrination, sexualization, and mutilation of our CHILDREN!”
