Several Republican-led states are considering its own "Don't Say Gay" bills sparked by Florida's controversial law.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed the legislation into law last month, which prevents topics including sexual orientation and gender identity from being taught to the state's youngest students. The law brought significant backlash from LGBTQ advocates, who argue it is intended to silence the community. Supporters of the legislation, however, say young children should not be taught about topics of sexuality while in school.

Despite those criticisms, more lawmakers from across the country are pushing for their states to pass similar legislation.

 
 
  
 
 
Last week, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed two separate anti-LGBTQ bills into law. One of the bills would criminalize gender-reassignment surgeries for transgender youth, while the other would only allow people in schools to use bathrooms that correspond with the gender listed on their birth certificate.

Its honestly sad to see what this world has come to.
