DeSantis Signs Transgender Sports Ban

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed into law a ban on transgender girls from competing in girls’ and women’s sports at an event at a Christian school on the first day of Pride Month, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

From a Miami Herald editorial: “Perhaps it was just a big, unfortunate coincidence. But it feels more like an insult that Gov. Ron DeSantis chose June 1, the first day of LGBTQ Pride Month, to sign Florida’s biggest anti-LGBT bill in recent history.”

Politico: “Florida joined more than 20 other GOP-leaning states pushing similar ideas.”
