LGBTQ+ families mull leaving Florida in wake of new culture laws
Robby Price spent many early mornings wondering if he and his family would be able to continue to enjoy their recently constructed Sarasota home and life in Southwest Florida or if he, his husband, and their 6-year-old son would finally make the painful decision to leave the Sunshine State behind for good.
Price and Jordan Letschert, or Papa and Dada to their son, Kellan, were married seven years ago at Historic Spanish Point in Osprey a few miles south of downtown Sarasota. The couple has been together for 12 years and became parents via surrogacy. Their son is why the family finally decided to make the life-changing decision to move from Sarasota, Letschert’s hometown.
“It’s getting harder and harder to stay. The discrimination and the hate have gotten so in-your-face,” Letschert said. “There have been events we’ve gone to with our son, and we have looked at each other and asked, ‘Should we be here?’ ”
“That Parental Rights bill was the most disheartening because we’re parents, too,” Price said. “Every night we hope that things will change here, but at this point, it literally feels like we are fleeing persecution.”

Following the enactment of the Parental Rights in Education Act last year, the mother says she feels a shift in attitudes in Sarasota that make her less secure.
“Sarasota always leaned right, but the politics weren’t as divisive as they are now. So, it was manageable to live here; everyone just played nice, and we were happy to be raising our children in this community. But we have made the tough choice to leave,” she said.
After her 8-year-old daughter identified as gay to her last year, the mother began to question whether Sarasota or Florida as a whole were the best places for her family. The stay-at-home mother and her husband began having a conversation about moving not only out of the state of Florida but outside the U.S.
The couple eventually narrowed down their relocation options to Canada, where they plan to move to within the next year.
“We looked at all of our options. We really tried to find a way to stay here, but the issues that we’re seeing are systemic and not only locally, but as a nation. So, we figured if we were going to move and uproot our family then that’s where we’ll do it,” she said.

If it’s good enough for California conservatives, it’s good enough for Florida leftists.

They’ll never make it. They’ll end up in NC like the rest of the degenerate Floridians

Sounds like a good time to start thinking about moving to Florida.

Time to stop talking and start walking. Do it. Leave the country. Your 8 year old lesbian will thank you one day.

I seriously doubt people are in their face like he says. The dude is projecting his insecurity of his lifestyle choice.
