In response to news that queer families were choosing to escape the state which is at the forefront of implementing draconian legislation severely limiting LGBTQ+ peoples rights, from what they can wear and say to what kind of medical access they have Pushaw indicated her glee with the displacement of families who are seeking a better life outside the confines of Floridas jurisdiction.
As DeSantis' rapid response director, Pushaw tweeted an article about the number of LGBTQ+ parents leaving the state, with an emoji of a waving hand.

A UCLA Williams Institute survey, cited in the piece by Floridas Voice, found that half of 113 LGBTQ+ parents surveyed in Florida had considered moving because of Floridas "dont say gay" law.

(67,112 posts)Florida is an ugly hateful place to all types of people. FFS, and the ongoing fight with Disney. What a horrible ugly place to live and work.

(67,112 posts)mass exit brewing. People just do not want to be in such a hateful place and it is not just LGBT. And students do not want to go to schools in Florida.

I have a sister & her family in Gainesville & Nephew and his bride to be in St Pete. all caring Dems.
I'm invited to their wedding in October.. I don't think I can go bc it's so far and not sure about the logistics.. but I would go if I could to be there for them
(fuck Stupid deSadist)
They are so established with all their jobs there and homes for decades.. I don't see them leaving anytime soon.. but you never know.

(67,112 posts)And whatever DeSantis wants he gets strict compliance with, from what I see, and little push back. I hope your family is OK! I'm leaving as soon as I can, but it's a major move. I never thought I would be leaving Florida, but it has changed so much, and rapidly.

(67,112 posts)of people are leaving Florida and it's not just LGBT. They are fed up with Florida and all of it's hostility. I am leaving asap. It's a horrible place to live and work. And the hatred is endless, road rage, crowding on and on. I can't believe this ass DeSantis is having an ongoing fight with Disney. WTF!

(1,505 posts)Given her background, you'd think she would be opposed to repressive, authoritarian politics. Instead she's gone full tilt at them. A truly disgusting miserable person.
Me.
(35,454 posts)They leaving because who wants to live under the rule of fascists who spit on the people who pay their salaries. That goofy looking broad should enjoy her moment of happiness because the mouse, among others, is going to kick her back side into the swamp she rose from.
Ps. I hope she is the big brain advising De Santis.

Also, and I would say this about a man as well, but what the hell happened to Pushaw's face? Is it just the camera angle? The first photo looks like a scary clown nightmare.

(53,393 posts)There are other pictures of her online. She doesn't look nearly as bad in them as she does in the Advocate article.
On the other hand, any external attractiveness she has is vastly skewed by the evil in her heart.
