NEWS: Clay County School District is now considering removing libraries from its high schools, making empty bookshelves a real threat for thousands of students. This is the cost of the censorship agenda being waged against the state by DeSantis, his enablers in the legislature, and the right wing.

As we mark this remembrance, we recommit ourselves to the promise we made ten years ago: to honor the 49 not only with our remembrance, but through the ongoing work of creating a safer, more just future for every ​person — including the LGBTQ community.

Since Pulse, FL has become both the epicenter of anti-LGBTQ​ attacks and the front line of the resistance against them. Time and again, LGBTQ​ Floridians and our allies have responded by organizing, advocating, and showing up - turning grief into purpose and pain into progress.
120
Equality Florida @equalityfl.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
The le​g​acy of Pulse has always been that remembrance alone is not enough. We must honor the 49 with action. That means confronting hatred wherever it appears, defending the dignity & humanity of LGBTQ​ people, and building communities where everyone can live safely and openly.

Equality Florida @equalityfl.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
10 years ago, hate walked into Pulse Nightclub in Orlando and opened fire. 49 souls, guilty of nothing more than enjoying Latin Night, were taken. Today and every day, we commit to #HonorThemWithAction and create a world they'd be proud of.

Florida is home to families of every kind, people of all backgrounds. And our state is made great when freedom, equality, dignity, and respect are afforded to everyone. Long after this proclamation is forgotten, that is the state we are building.

Equality Florida @equalityfl.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
As we prepare to mark 10 years since Pulse, our communities are remembering the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the responsibility we all share in advancing the lesson of the aftermath: in the face of hatred and violence, Floridians chose compassion, unity, & love.

Equality Florida @equalityfl.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
The problem has never been faith or family; it’s a Governor and his enablers whose exclusionary version of faith and family does not reflect the reality of the state they claim to represent. This proclamation peddles a lie: that faith & family belong to some more than others.

BREAKING: LGBTQ people are part of families and faith communities in every corner of this state. Our lives, our families, and our contributions to Florida are not up for debate.

Our message to Florida AG Uthmeier: Floridians deserve facts, not fearmongering. We deserve leaders who believe in our rights and freedoms, not politicians who weaponize their power.

Politicians have ignored experts, distorted science, & targeted trans youth & the people who care for them. Let this be a reminder: politicians cannot weaponize the legal system to silence those they disagree with. And healthcare decisions belong to patients, families, & doctors.

At a time when Floridians are struggling with rising housing costs and insurance rates, this administration is once again choosing political theater over real solutions.

This bill is designed to intimidate cities and counties, creating fear and confusion about whether they can continue programs, events, and initiatives that bring people together—from Pride festivals to cultural celebrations to support for small and minority-owned businesses.

And now @captnamy.bsky.social is an Instagram celebrity thanks to @equalityfl.bsky.social
Artemis II was called a “textbook mission” by scientists — a historic success made possible by leaders like Amy Lendian.​ Amy served as ​the Systems Engineer​ Manager for Artemis II, helping oversee the rocket and mission that carried humans around the moon and back. She’s also a transgender woman who ​lived in Florida​ most of her life and worked at Kennedy Space Center.

Last year, Amy and her wife made the difficult decision to leave the state after a wave of anti-trans laws made them feel unsafe.

“Lendian had been a fire suppression systems engineer who landed at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center in 2020. But last year, she and Barela, both trans women, moved to Chicago amid a rash of anti-trans laws that made them feel unsafe. With the launch taking place the same week as Transgender Day of Visibility, she said it was ‘a big deal.’ ‘All my trans siblings can do whatever they want to and be a part of something important like this,’ Lendian said.”

Congratulations to Amy! Her leadership, brilliance, and contributions are helping shape the future of space exploration​.

We are devastated by the heartbreaking news about Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen. It’s hard to put into words the weight of this loss. To so many of us, Nancy felt like part of the Equality Florida team. She was a true generational leader, and she will be deeply missed. Rest in Power, Nancy.
