The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state, and is the latest exercise in the erosion of democracy there.

And anything else DeSantis spins as "promoting" pride.

Florida deserves everything they've earned.

So ... the local elected official who people vote for can be fired because DeSantis doesn't like their choices, thus invalidating the will of the majority who voted that official, because DeSantis doesn't like their choice.

You're allowed to tell people they should be ashamed but you can't tell them they should be proud

American democracy is dead because no one stood up to defend it.

Those that have were violently oppressed, with them going as far as to send in the military in some cases. Some were detained, others killed, many were injured. Social manipulation and propaganda spun those who did to be cut off from the rest of the country, seen as violent enemies of the common people.

This place is a corrupt disaster, plain and simple.
