Billboards All Over Florida Go Up Saying ‘It’s Ok To Say Gay’

Orlando billboard encouraging people to ‘Say Gay’ goes up same day bill passes.
As Gov. DeSantis signed House Bill 1557, the controversial bill nicknamed “Don’t Say Gay” on Monday, another group denounced it in a very public way.
Also on Monday, a new billboard went on display in Orlando that encourages people to ‘Say Gay.’
The electronic sign can be seen on Alafaya Trail off East Colonial Drive.
It is a project spearheaded by the left-leaning Southern Progress PAC that promotes progressive policies through legislation.
“It’s OK to say gay. It’s more than OK. It’s encouraged,” volunteer Ally Sammarco said. “We want to make it very clear that it’s OK to talk about who you are and where you come from and no one can stop you from doing that.”
There are billboards in Tallahassee and Jacksonville as well.
Sammarco said another one is going up in Miami this week.
“A bill like this looks maybe innocent in nature, but it’s not. And it’s going to have very deadly consequences for kids, especially young kids of the LGBTQ community,” Sammarco said.
The new law takes effect on July 1.
