Florida GOP Rep Calls For Banning Elected Officials From Participating In LGBT Pride Events: “We Are Disgusted”

Florida Politics reports:

Jacksonville’s Mayor is taking heat from the Republican Party for her decision to participate in this weekend’s Pride Parade. Democrat Donna Deegan, the first Mayor to attend Pride, was the Grand Marshal of the event. However, Duval GOP Chairman Dean Black, a current state legislator, is objecting to Deegan’s participation — and is suggesting that “legislation” might be necessary to “prevent this from happening again.”

“We are disturbed and disgusted to see the Mayor’s participation as the Grand Marshal at an alleged ‘family-friendly’ event,” Black said Monday. “At best, it is beneath the dignity of the office of Mayor to attend events that seek to push sex on our children. At worst, it is morally repugnant for *any* person, let alone the Mayor, to be endorsing or supporting such behavior.”

Read the full article. Dean Black, a freshman in the Florida House, ran unopposed in the 2022 general election. In the video below, he declares that among his main legislative goals is the protection of Confederate monuments.

‘We call on our elected representatives to take further steps to prevent this from happening again.’

I look forward to filing and passing a bill to protect our historical monuments and memorials all throughout the Sunshine State!
