June is Pride Month, and the Florida Democratic Party is wasting no time in signalling its commitment to bolstering priorities of the LGBTQ+ community in the Sunshine State.
“Since we last celebrated Pride Month, many of Florida Republicans’ most extreme anti-LGBTQ+ measures — including bans on drag queens and the expanded “don’t say gay” law — were overturned by the courts. Even still, (Gov. Ron DeSantis‘) extreme policies continue to shape Florida today,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried.
“Just this week, Florida was ranked second to last in the country for its treatment of queer and trans people — from bans on books and rainbow lights on bridges to restrictions on gender affirming care for both children and adults,” Fried added.
She went on to point to a bill passed without any no votes in the by the GOP supermajority Legislature as a sign of Democratic effectiveness.
“While Florida Republicans continue to target queer and trans people to score political points, Florida Democrats are proud to support legislation protecting and honoring the LGBTQ+ community — including sponsoring the first pro-LGBTQ+ bill passed in recent memory, HB 159, which will provide expanded access to HIV prevention medication,” Fried said.
“Today and always, the Florida Democratic Party stands with the LGBTQ+ community and celebrates their contributions to our state. We will continue to oppose all forms of hatred and bigotry, and will work tirelessly to elect pro-LGBTQ+ Democrats this fall to fight back against discrimination in Tallahassee.”
It should be noted that Democrats will face a challenging electoral environment this year, as Republicans outnumber them by more than 900,000 at last check.
Speaking of Republicans, they have offered no statement marking the beginning of Pride Month.

Good afternoon Sage Florida Patriots,
This srtical is a lot like a “Dook 4 Brains Leftist A. P. (Ass-ociated Press) article BUT even less relsvant.
SO GET NOT THINE PANTIES BUNCHED UP AND RELAX YOUR POLITICAL SPHINCTERS:
BECAUSE:
My Sage Patriots, this is nothing but a “Totally Meaningless Nikki Fried PUFF PIECE of an Insult to Journalism”.
Which will resonate with Less than 1/2 of 1% of Florida’s Population.
Yoi are welcome Florida and any less consiquental readers from oitside The Great Free State of Florida.
IN CONCLUSION:
While Nikki is a Hot MlLF, which Elvis would like to 80NE, this Puff Piece Artical, really goes no further, in it’s relevancy, than Elvis’s large Bull Of The Woods Manhood and Elvis’s Sage Perverse $exual Perversions in regards to HOT MlLF’s.
Thank you Sage Florida Patriots,

Susan “Susie” (neé Summerall) Wiles is the person behind former U.S. president Donald Trump’s campaign. She’s responsible for the some of the successful campaigns of Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, et al. She is a prominent member of the political class and has, at the very least, a symbiotic relationship with this political establishment “publication” or propagator of political establishment propaganda and a confidential source for Florida Politics’ so-called journalists.

Poor Rhonda. So bitter. So petty. So unhappy. So mean. They can’t stand to see people happy and comfortable with their true, authentic selves. They hate LGBTQ people and anyone who does not conform to their misery.
Rhonda has some issues. The biggest homophobes are usually hiding something. What’s in those high-heeled boots, Rhonda?

Nikki Fried trying to stay relevant in the Florida Democrat Party. She is being out recruited by the Republican Party for registrations. Nikki is done politically. Just go away already.

IB, you name changing, right leaning chameleon, she IS relevant, especially when it comes to gimmicks to lose elections. I know you wish Debbie Wasserman Schultz got the job instead, so you could gaze at her comely visage.
The numbers wont change much because Republicans have moved here in droves drawn by a science denying government, and because demographically the elders are now heavily GOP. It doesnt help that GOP purges of the voter rolls under one excuse after another primarily hits Democrats. Of course a lot of those folks never bother to vote anyway A good hot, humid summer will give a lot of these carpetbaggers reason to rethink their relocation.

No — because back in the day the Democrats in the South before the 1960s were the party of white people. Many whites in the South fled the party when LBJ and the Black civil rights movement opened up the system to all comers. This is why today the MAGA/GOP is mostly white today and centered in the South and most African Americans are Democrats.

Thank you Nikki — keeping speaking truth to power! The Republicans are freaking out, their wanna be dictator Trump and his toddler, DeSantis are spinning their wheels of lies and corruption. They both love projection, it’s their only defense. White supremacists are losing it even more so right now. Their king is now a convicted felon! And of course, the gay community is an easy target for the weak minded, insecure white guys losing power….
