https://FloridaBan.com - My wife Heather is brought to tears recalling the homophobia of her schools as a child and how Florida is inflicting this on another generation all over again. I discuss hate groups currently active in Florida and across the country. 

Moms for Liberty and Joyful Warriors members were in attendance. An earlier speaker, Joy Stricker of Moms for Liberty Seminole County Chapter, claimed "Baphomet is a transgender Satanic deity" and said the singular 'they' "is derived from Satan and demons", alleging this originates from a Bible verse saying "'my name is legion for we are many'". Mishelle Minnella of Moms for Liberty had also said more people are transitioning because they falsely believe they're trans and they'll someday regret it, while Michael Sciarrino of Gays Against Groomers Florida/Turning Point Action had accused the yearbook club of promoting "gender ideology" and told the board "there will continue to be consequences". This led to me facing the audience - the nearest seating section contained all the sworn enemies of the high school yearbook - to point out my Baphomet trans symbol tattoo and emphasize my commitment to a permanent trans future that outlasts Christian nationalism.
