A group of Florida advocates, LGBT+ students and their families have filed a federal lawsuit against the state’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and school officials to block the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law signed into law this week.
The 80-page complaint filed in US District Court on 31 March argues that the law provokes an unconstitutional attempt to “to stigmatize, silence, and erase LGBTQ people in Florida’s public schools.”
