Don't Say LGBTQ

Note: PRISM and many other organizations have also referred to HB1557 as the "Don't Say Gay" law. However, based on rhetoric from supporters of this legislation, it's clear that the bill is anti-trans at its core.

 

In late January, the Florida House of Representatives introduced HB1557 (read it here), or the Parental Rights in Education bill. While supposedly meant to give parents more involvement in their children's education, it quickly found a new, much more accurate nickname: the "Don't Say Gay" bill.
