Securing full equality for Florida's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.
The "panic defense" blames LGBTQ victims of violence for the hateful actions of their attackers.

Thank you to pro-equality champions State Representative Rita Harris and State Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith for filing a bill to repeal this anti-LGBTQ legal defense and sending a message…
November 26, 2025 at 9:31 PM
This bill is a direct attack on LGBTQ visibility and a textbook example of government overreach and censorship.

🚨TAKE ACTION🚨

Florida lawmakers are advancing a partisan redistricting plan designed to silence voters, especially Black and brown Floridians, LGBTQ Floridians, young people, and others who’ve fought too hard to have their voices counted.

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to take up Kim Davis’ petition — meaning it will not revisit Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark decision that made marriage equality the law of the land ten years ago.

Once again, we proved that love is louder.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while legal challenges make its way through the courts. We'll provide additional updates from our national partners as they learn more from the State Department on next steps.

Every parent hopes our laws will ensure our children’s safety, protection, and freedom. But DeSantis is rejecting those values — banning books, censoring classrooms, and stripping parents’ rights.

Enough is enough. Parents across FL are rising up. Join us at ParentingWithPride.org

In a time when DeSantis is doing everything he can to erase the rainbow, our community, and our history, we need to be more visible than ever. We need to be louder than ever. We need to raise our flags higher than ever before. Join us in #ShowYourRainbow🌈

In the dead of night, Ron DeSantis ordered part of the Pulse memorial painted over. That’s why we’re calling on everyone in Orlando to show up for a peaceful gathering today at the Pulse Memorial at 6:00pm ET.

In the dead of night, Ron DeSantis ordered the rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial painted over — defacing a sacred space in the heart of Orlando that honors the 49 lives stolen in one of the deadliest massacres in U.S. history.

There, fixed it. 🥸 #schooled

This is how we win: We fight back. We resist unlawful orders. We refuse to roll over when extremist leaders try to erase us.

🏫 Then—justice for a transgender teacher who faced blatant discrimination. The court’s message: bigotry has no place in our schools.

DeSantis has been trying so hard to erase rainbows (and the LGBTQ community) across Florida for a while now. Now, it's our turn to respond, and resist. It’s not just a crosswalk: it’s DeSantis’ worst nightmare. Let’s scare the boots off of him: 🧵
