Florida’s Drag Community is drawing parallels between DeSantis’ anti-LGBTQ laws and the rise of Nazi power. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has shown a distinct lack of support for LGBTQ rights.
In recent days, DeSantis has been fervently pushing forward with a series of anti-LGBTQ laws that unjustly target LGBTQ individuals within his state. These laws seem poised to exacerbate discrimination against the community, making their lives and survival even more challenging.
The governor has also set his sights on transgender individuals aspiring to serve in the military, enacting policies that effectively obstruct their path.
Just this month, DeSantis signed an executive order mandating that all military recruiters must be officially registered with the state’s Department of Military Affairs (DMA).
The decree goes on to specify that every personnel member working in recruitment offices across the nation must either be a direct DMA employee or function under its direct contractual engagement.
Further stipulations dictate that any branch of military recruitment services must first register through the DMA before engaging with any potential candidate or student. In essence, should a particular branch wish to establish recruiters in specific schools nationwide, their initial step is registration with Florida.
Key Takeaway: DeSantis’ legislation echoes disconcerting historical parallels, bearing resemblance to the tactics employed by the Nazis to seize power—an un-American approach.
