[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, sure, understood.  Not offended at all.  
But how does this issue come up in conversations with people you barely know?  [/quote]

I didn't say barely know. I said acquaintances. I don't consider them the same thing. Friends are friends, acquaintances are people definitely in my friend "circle," but not my primary friend and I wouldn't independently hang out with them, yet I seem to find them in my orbit on a regular basis. This being Florida (cue the jokes, often merited despite the fact that I like our life here), it comes up more often than you'd think. People casually drop into conversation [I]very regularly[/I] about how great our governor is, how much better the school districts are because of him, how much freer they feel sending their kids to "DeSantis's school" because they heard there are "litter boxes in the high school bathrooms for those identifying as a cat and now that won't be true anymore." You better believe I will go head-to-head with that level of ignorance and hate. I just don't stand for that, and when it comes up, I defend my daughter and any and all gay folks. But yeah, they bring it up.

But other than that, those "bad seeds" that I find myself interacting with on the regular, it's otherwise fine here. Besides the horrible bill, she loved her school but is now feeling very much under attack and refuses to go to Pride Club anymore. It's been horrible, right out of the starting gate this year. I feel this will pass but it's been a bumpy start.[/quote]
