Business owners who cater to Florida’s LGBTQ+ tourists said Wednesday that it marked the latest attempt by officials in the state to erase the LGBTQ+ community,” the AP report continues. “Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis previously championed a bill to forbid classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, and supported a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, as well as a law meant to keep children out of drag shows.”

Protecting children and removing a page from a website aren’t “eras[ing] the LGBTQ+ community,” whatever that means. We all know that we can’t escape the Pride Cult no matter how hard we try.

What the AP buries in the story is that the Visit Florida website is a public-private partnership with the state contributing from economic development funds but not having complete control over content. This destroys the left’s image of DeSantis looking down from on high declaring, “Take the gay travel page down. We must erase the gays!”

At the end of the day, taking down a special LGBTQ travel page isn’t going to discourage anybody but the most militant gay activists. The movers and shakers in Florida’s tourism industry know this, which is why they’re willing to let Visit Florida promote travel for everyone.
