00:00Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed multiple anti-LGBTQ plus bills into law.
00:05After signing the legislation, he threw pens into a cheering crowd at an evangelical Christian
00:10school in Tampa and passed them out to the children gathered around him. The bills he
00:14signed into law ban gender-affirming care for transgender youths, prevent children from
00:19attending drag shows, restrict preferred pronoun use requirements in schools, and force transgender
00:26individuals to use bathrooms that align with genders assigned at birth. DeSantis argues the
00:32slew of new legislation will allow kids to be kids and will keep the children in the state of
00:37Florida safe. LGBTQ plus activists and those who oppose DeSantis have called the newly enacted
00:43bills a slate of hate. Many think his spree of bill signing is the opening act of a presidential
00:49run, which he's expected to announce any day.
