Democrat blames GOP for fanning the ‘flames of bigotry’ against LGBT people
Fox News
A Democratic congresswoman said Republicans incite violence against the LGBT community as they promote bills to limit the exposure of transgenderism to children.
"These actions are the culmination of years of anti-LGBT extremism that began in statehouses across the country and spread to social media platforms before boiling over to the communities we reside," Maloney said. Patrick Hauf is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Maloney specifically criticized legislation in Florida that passed this year and was signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. That Parental Rights in Education law banned lessons on gender identity in grades kindergarten through third grade, but Democrats have called it the "Don't Say Gay" bill, and Maloney said the law "erases the existence of LGBTQI people and muzzles our nation’s brightest educators."
