Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is taunting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott with LGBTQ+ pride billboards in their own backyards.
Healey, a Democrat who made history by becoming the nation's first openly lesbian governor, launched on Monday a billboard campaign highlighting Massachusetts' inclusivity toward the LGBTQ+ communities in Florida and Texas, which have implemented policies limiting LGBTQ+ rights.
The"Massachusetts for Us All" campaign is aimed at driving tourism to the Bay State, which has long been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. Billboards will be posted across New England and New York as well as in Florida and Texas. "At a time when other states are misguidedly restricting LGBTQIA+ rights, we are proud to send the message that Massachusetts is a safe, welcoming and inclusive place for all," Healey said in a news release."The 'Massachusetts for Us All' campaign sends a clear message that Massachusetts stands for freedom and civil rights."
