Bathroom Bill

The Florida Board of Education unanimously passed a new rule that creates a stiffer penalty for those who want to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.

Many of the new rules are a result of the expansion of the state "Parental Rights in Education" law.

Florida lawmakers on Wednesday passed a bill, HB 1521, aimed at requiring people to use bathrooms that line up with their sex assigned at birth.

Other anti-LGBTQ proposals are heading through the Florida Legislature. A march was held outside the state capitol Tuesday opposing the legislation.

The majority opinion indicated that similar reasoning could apply to disputes about banning transgender females from playing on women’s and girls’ sports teams.
