I am deeply concerned about the proposed legislation SB 440/HB 1495, which would prohibit discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity in workplace trainings and orientation programs. This harmful bill represents an alarming attack on LGBTQ+ rights and creates an unwelcoming, discriminatory environment for LGBTQ+ employees. Such censorship has no place in professional settings and undermines efforts towards inclusivity and respect for all individuals. I urge you to vote NO on SB 440/HB 1495 and defend the rights of LGBTQ+ Floridians to feel safe, valued, and accepted in their workplaces. This discriminatory legislation promotes stigma, marginalization, and erasure of LGBTQ+ identities, which goes against principles of equality and human dignity. Please stand against this unjust bill that threatens to roll back hard-won progress.
