New York’s governor SLAMMED for opposing Florida’s anti-grooming law

"#DontSayGay is an attack on children, families, and our universal values of human dignity and respect," Hochul wrote. "New York State is proud of its LGBTQ+ community and I will continue to ensure New Yorkers will never be forced to hide who they are. Love will always be stronger than hate."

While some commented their support of Hochul's statement, many blasted the progressive New York governor, saying that she hasn't read the bill, which does not possess the phrase "don't say gay," or anything referencing it.

DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law Monday, a move that prompted response from President Joe Biden, who condemed the bill's passing. "Every student deserves to feel safe and welcome in the classroom. Our LGBTQI+ youth deserve to be affirmed and accepted just as they are. My Administration will continue to fight for dignity and opportunity for every student and family — in Florida and around the country," wrote Biden in a Monday tweet.
