Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a slate of anti-transgender rights bills on Wednesdayâand treated the whole thing like a public celebration. According to the Associated Press, DeSantis tossed Sharpie markers to a cheering crowd during the signing event at an evangelical Christian school in Tampa. DeSantis touted the billsâwhich ban discussion of pronouns in schools and further restrict care for transgender children, among other measuresâas the latest installment in his anti-âwokeâ crusade. âWeâre not doing the pronoun Olympics in Florida,â DeSantis told the crowd. Democrats have opposed the bills, but made little progress in the firmly Republican-controlled legislature.
