Equality Florida in Tallahassee




Parents of transgender children, youth advocates, and healthcare experts came out to the Capitol in FORCE to testify against the dangerous and mean-spirited "transgender youth medical care ban".

While the Florida House subcommittee did not vote on the bill (HB 1365), it was made clear during the hearing that this legislation is driven by people who have no concerns whatsoever for the lives and safety of transgender youth. The same groups who oppose anti-bullying efforts and basic legal protections for LGBTQ Floridians, now seek to put transgender young people into hiding by threatening their doctors with 15 years imprisonment. 

Thank you to all the trans and enby advocates, parents (especially the mama bears!), healthcare experts, and partner organizations whose brave, honest, loving words drowned out the bigoted rhetoric of the anti-LGBTQ extremists the bill's supporters had flown 
in to testify. 

The bill is procedurally DEAD for the 2020 legislative session. But we need to stay vigilant to ensure this bill never sees the light of day.
