A veritable wall of freakoutery currently surrounds the State of Florida regarding several of their new laws related to LGBT issues, but when you actually read the text of modern media articles about them, they provide as little information as possible about what the laws would actually do, and devote maximal effort to driving their readers into a mouth frothing frenzy. I thought it might be helpful to look at each of the actual Florida laws, read the words in them, and explain what they actually do.

Generally, they look like this.

They have very little impact on adults. They have very little impact on gay men and lesbians. They are mostly focused on transgender minors and on gender segregated spaces. Several of them which are claimed to be “expressly against LGBTQ+” don’t have anything to do with LGBTQ+ at all, or only tangentially.

Some of them might be good laws. Some might be bad laws. I’m not going to make a claim one way or another here. But if you’re going to formulate an opinion about these laws, you should learn what the laws do, no matter your choice of political flavor.
