Florida is enacting a record six anti-LGBTQ+ laws in 2023, more than in the past seven years combined. These include bills that ban teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity in schools (HB 1069), criminalize transgender people using bathrooms matching their gender identity (HB 1521), and prohibit gender-affirming care for minors (SB 254). Other laws, like SB 1580, allow healthcare providers to deny care based on personal beliefs, and SB 266 limits LGBTQ+ academic programs. These actions reflect a broader push to restrict LGBTQ+ rights, particularly targeting transgender individuals. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) condemns these efforts and continues to advocate for equality, highlighting growing public support for LGBTQ+ rights across the country.
