"Out gay Florida Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith (D) teared up on the state house floor while speaking out against his state’s discriminatory Don’t Say Gay bill, which seeks to ban teachers from discussing LGBTQ identities in the classroom.
During debates about H.B. 1557, Smith asked, “What topics specifically about people like myself, LGBTQ Floridians, are not appropriate to teach in the classroom? Is it topics about how LGBTQ people love one another? Is it topics about our marriages, which are legal in the United States and in Florida? Is it conversations about our families?”
House Speaker Chris Sprowls (R) interrupted Smith to warn members not to make their questions too personal.
“This isn’t a direct response to anything Representative Smith said but I just want to caution all of us… I ask that you not ask questions or answer questions in ways that are personal to other members… I ask that we keep our questions to the substance of the bill.”"
