Homophobic DeSantis Campaign Staffer Cheers at LGBTQ+ Families Fleeing Florida

Desantis is a hate monger and bigot.

Florida’s leadership is thrilled to see LGBTQ+ people leaving the state. That’s according to the actions of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s former spokesperson and current campaign staffer, Christina Pushaw.

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+ people’s 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 Florida’s 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 Florida’s Voice, found that half of 113 LGBTQ+ parents surveyed in Florida had considered moving because of Florida’s "don’t say gay" law.
