Florida: Residents reject policies against the LGBTQ community, as reported by an EFE article.

Dozens of protesters aboard golf carts denounced Florida’s policies against LGBTQ individuals.

This historic event took place during a march as part of the Gay Pride celebration in the town of Dunedin.

Dunedin is a small and peaceful city on the Gulf Coast of Florida known for being a tourist attraction.

LGBTQ Pride

Fifty golf carts adorned with the colors of the LGBTQ collective flag participated in the demonstration.

All protesters reaffirmed their support for the diverse gender community amidst ongoing rights violations.

The demonstrators covered various points in the city of Dunedin, carrying signs related to their protest.

«Don’t say DeSantis» was among the messages that could be read on the protesters’ golf carts.

Law against LGBT

The state of Florida recently passed an anti-LGBTQ law, a measure that has caused outrage among its citizens.

The signs at the demonstration in Dunedin referred to the policy known as «Don’t say gay.»

The law was approved this year by Governor DeSantis, prohibiting discussions on sexual diversity in elementary schools.

Despite the governor’s measure in Florida, the state’s residents continue to support the diverse gender community.

Dunedin, a little city

Dunedin is a small city with 35,000 inhabitants located in Pinellas County (Gulf Coast of Mexico).

An EFE report indicated that Governor Ron DeSantis studied in the city as a child, which supported the gay community.

Furthermore, DeSantis lived in Dunedin until the age of 18.

The media’s attention has focused on the small city due to its connection with the Republican politician.

Ron DeSantis is running for president

Ron DeSantis is one of the Republican politicians who openly support anti-LGBTQ laws in the United States.

Under his tenure as the governor of Florida, DeSantis has approved several anti-LGBTQ laws.

The Republican governor is currently campaigning in preparation for the primaries of his political party.

DeSantis aspires to become the Republican leader to compete in the 2024 presidential elections.
