New Florida legislation would bar state employees from using their preferred pronouns, and prohibit nonprofits from training employees on LGBTQ issues

On Tuesday, Florida state Rep. Ryan Chamberlin introduced HB 599, a bill that would ban government employees from being required to use the preferred pronouns of their colleagues, prohibits the penalization of employees on the “basis of deeply held religious or biology-based beliefs,” and makes it unlawful for nonprofits or employers receiving state funds to require employees to undergo training on matters of sexual/gender identity or gender expression.

      Pretty much.

      This “war on words” is so stupid. Like, say whatever the term the person wants to be called.

      Didn’t realize Florida reps is such snowflakes.
