Florida GOP Rep Files Third Attempt To Ban Pride Flags

January 2, 2025 Republicans, Trump cultists

Florida Politics reports:

Sweetwater Rep. David Borrero is again carrying legislation to limit flag use at public facilities. He just filed a bill (HB 75) that would prohibit local or state government offices, schools and universities from displaying banners that represent a “political viewpoint.” That includes a “politically partisan, racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint,” the measure says.

HB 75, filed Friday, is a companion to an identical bill by Republican Sen. Randy Fine, who was more specific in what he hoped the legislation would do. Fine said in a prepared statement that “fictional country flags like ‘Palestine,’ pro-violence ‘Black Lives Matter’ flags, woke and pro-grooming ideological flags, and the flags of any political candidates” have no business flying at government buildings.

Borrero appeared here in 2023 for a similar bill that died in committee. He tried again last year, but that attempt died after passage in its first committee hearing.

Borerro first appeared on JMG in January 2022 for his successful bill mandating that Florida public schools recognize an annual “Victims Of Communism Day.”

Republicans hold supermajorities in both Florida chambers. Many Florida cities prominently display the rainbow flag at government buildings during Pride Month.

As for the unspeakably foul Randy Fine, his version of the bill is showboating for the cult as Trump has endorsed him to succeed Rep. Mike Waltz in the US House.
