Controversial DeSantis Law Explained.While FOLX Health has put up billboards in different cities across the country, the Southern Progress PAC seems to be focusing its efforts on the state of Florida, adding billboards in both Tallahassee and Jacksonville. The company says the billboards are in places where anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is either currently under consideration or has recently become law. We stand with trans and LGBQ kids across the nation,' Kayiatos said.įOLX Health billboards can be seen in Tallahassee, Florida Des Moines, Iowa Nashville, Tennessee Boise, Idaho and Austin, Texas.

FOLX Health stands by and honors the courage of families that prioritize the love and care of their children. Unconditional love for one's child is none of lawmakers' business. 'Supporting and protecting kids should not be not political-it's deeply personal. In a response to Newsweek, Rocco Kayiatos, FOLX Health's chief content officer, mentioned that love for one's child should not be up for debate. The company added that its campaign is meant to show support for those individuals who may be affected by some of the new legislation across the country and to 'speak out against the discriminatory laws.' The company has put up several similar billboards across the country in response to anti-LGBTQ+ bills. Photo of FOLX Health's 'Say Gay' billboard. 'We want to make it very clear that it's OK to talk about who you are and where you come from and no one can stop you from doing that.' Sammarco told WESH that the billboards come with a very straightforward message and purpose. Most people know what the real intent of this bill is, and if you ask anyone from the LGBTQ community, they know what the consequences will be,' she said. The idea that teachers are grooming children is a weird conservative fantasy that helps them 'explain' why some kids are gay. We should let kids talk about who they are and where they come from, without fear of repercussions. 'The bill is quite frankly, a solution looking for a problem. In response to Newsweek, Southern Progress PAC volunteer Ally Sammarco said the group is doing this in order to 'combat the harmful and unnecessary 'Don't Say Gay' bill.' The bill, HB1557, states that 'the bill reinforces a parent's fundamental right to make decisions regarding the care and upbringing of his or her child in the public school setting.'Īlso, according to the text in the bill, 'classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.' One even popped up in Orlando, Florida, the same day that the controversial so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill was signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, according to WESH. Southern Progress PAC and FOLX Health, the latter of which says it's the 'first digitally native queer and trans telehealth provider,' recently put up billboards with such messages as 'Say Gay' and 'Protect Trans Youth' in several cities throughout the country.

Two organizations are using billboards to make their voice heard around the country on what they view as anti-LGBTQ+ bills on Transgender Day of Visibility, March 31.
