‘As the world goes mad, Florida represents a refuge of sanity and a citadel of normalcy.” This statement by Governor Ron DeSantis could easily have been uttered in 2020 during the height of the coronavirus response. But in fact, DeSantis said this on Wednesday, while signing the “Let Kids Be Kids” package, a slew of bills designed to curtail LGBT overreach in the Sunshine State.
There is no shortage of examples to illustrate the madness to which DeSantis is referring. Gender clinicians openly promote their cavalier attitude to “top surgery” (i.e., breast amputation), advertising the procedure to young prospective patients on TikTok. Drag queens strip and pole-dance in front of audiences made up of children, much to the delight of grown men and women. Pornographic materials too obscene to detail here are distributed in school libraries.
