A Republican-led Florida House committee has advanced legislation that would ban all discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. The bill would also allow parents to sue school districts for injunctive relief, damages, attorney fees and court costs if they believe schools have violated the measure. Critics have dubbed the legislation the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, saying it would prohibit teachers from speaking about LGBTQ+ issues and harm the mental health of LGBTQ+ students.
