Florida Republicans file 4 anti-LGBTQ bills on last day of session.
A view of the historic Old Florida State Capitol building, which sits in front of the current New Capitol, in Tallahassee, Florida on Nov. 10, 2018.Seven Republican lawmakers in Florida filed anti-LGBTQ bills late Monday, just hours before the end of the year’s legislative session.
If passed, the bills would ban gender-affirming health care for transgender children, repeal municipal and county ordinances protecting LGBTQ workers, and legalize so-called gay conversion therapy in places that had banned the medically debunked practice. The state lawmakers — Rep. Anthony Sabatini, Sen. Dennis Baxley, Rep. Bob Rommel, Sen. Joe Gruters, Rep Michael Grant, Sen. Keith Perry, and Rep. Byron Donalds — together introduced the four pieces of legislation, each with a companion bill in the House and the Senate.
