Florida GOP Rep. wants a law banning elected officials from attending Pride
https://t.co/6lDIUws7UXState Rep. Dean Black, who is also the Duval GOP Chairman, was disgusted. He said condoms were thrown out during the family-friendly event.
He blasted Deegan over her participation. “We are disturbed and disgusted to see the Mayor’s participation as the Grand Marshal at an alleged ‘family-friendly’ event where sex toys were displayed and condoms were handed out to children,” Black said Monday, according to Florida Politics. “At best, it is beneath the dignity of the office of Mayor to attend events that seek to push sex on our children.
At worst, it is morally repugnant for *any* person, let alone the Mayor, to be endorsing or supporting such behavior.”“We call on our elected representatives to take further steps to prevent this from happening again.
It should not take legislation to enforce this commonsense principle: stop sexualizing our children.”“Further, we call on Mayor Deegan to condemn and disavow this conduct, as well as give assurances that she will not continue to use her office to embarrass our city and disrespect parents.”A spokesperson for Mayor Deegan issued the following statement in response.“Mayor Deegan attended the River City Pride Parade to show her support for our LGBTQ+ community and commitment to diversity and inclusion.
