Human Rights Campaign, one of the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organizations, has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the U.S.
A spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office told ABC News in a response that "we aren’t going to waste our time worrying about political stunts. We will continue doing what is right for Floridians."
Across the country, some families say they are moving out of states like Florida, Texas and Montana, where such laws are being implemented. "When a child's basic needs are not being met, or when a child is neglected or endangered in the home, Child Protective Services is called. But what happens when it's the State that's endangering a child? When the State is not allowing basic needs to be met?" said Daniel, the dad of a transgender young person in Florida who recently moved to Minnesota, in a statement via the HRC.
He added, "We have become our own version of Child Protective Service and removed our child from the danger and neglect from the State."
