“A lot of people don’t know that. I have to make decisions for my family, not just personal, individual decisions.”
Wade explained how specific policies and laws passed by the state of Florida now make it difficult for Wade and his family to feel accepted and comfortable in the state.
Last week, educators in all Florida public schools for all grades are now banned from teaching students about gender identity and sexual orientation in a sweeping move announced by the Ron DeSantis Board of Education.
The move marks a massive expansion of the parental rights in education bill — dubbed by critics the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — which was signed into law last year by the governor and sparked a firestorm across the country.
Critics of the policy claim it could harm children who identify as gay and transgender.
