Biden calls Florida bill restricting LGBTQ discussion in schools ‘hateful’ after DeSantis signals support

President Biden has slammed legislation proposed by Republicans in Florida that aims to restrict some classroom discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in the state’s schools.

Biden, in a tweet on Tuesday, called the proposal a “hateful bill” and said he would give his full support to the young people who may be affected. Critics have dubbed it the “Don’t say gay” bill — but supporters say it is about parental rights.



“I have your back, and my Administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve,” Biden wrote.
