Florida wants to ban gay event crosswalks and keep us on the path of intolerance | Opinion

It’s not a secret that Florida goes out of its way to demean and discriminate against its LGBTQ residents.

For starters, state law still allows for gay people to be denied housing, employment or accommodation in a hotel or restaurant based on their sexuality.

The anti-discrimination protections that exist in Florida based on race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, disability and marital status do not extend to sexual orientation or gender identity. 

Local governments have sidestepped this prejudice by writing their own anti-discrimination laws protecting LGBTQ civil rights and finding ways to affirm their support for all people in their communities. 

Cumulatively, about 60% of Florida is covered under human rights ordinances passed by municipalities and counties that extend anti-discrimination in those areas.
