Thursday's vote drew condemnation from LGBTQ advocates and Democratic politicians in the state. 'As expected, the #DontSayGayBill just passed the Florida House, but SEVEN Republicans crossed party lines to vote against it,' Rep. 'I want to thank for their consistent allyship and also thank the gang of 7 who saw our humanity and rejected this terrible legislation,' he added.
President Biden previously slammed the proposal as well. 'I have your back, and my Administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve.' 'I want every member of the LGBTQI+ community - especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill - to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are,' Biden tweeted earlier this month. The bill passed the House by a vote of 69-47, according to the chamber's website.
