Ron DeSantis refuses to say what he'd do if one of his kids is gay or trans'We'll leave that between my wife and I'
"Both as governor of Florida and as a presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis has made anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and legislation a key part of his public platform.
Among other things, he signed a slew of anti-transgender rights measures into law, launched a war with Disney over his so-called Don't Say Gay bill, and his presidential campaign recently tweeted a widely condemned anti-LGBTQ video.
In short, he's tried to make a name for himself in large part by attacking the sexuality and gender of other people's children and pushing laws that would restrict both. But when asked by Time Magazine how he would respond if one of his three kids turned out to be gay or trans, he didn't have much to say."
