Hatred and bigotry didn’t get the message in Florida

Hatred and bigotry didn’t get the message in Republican Florida

Despite America’s overwhelming victory over the hatred and bigotry of Trumpism, Florida continues its campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

From the 11/10/2026 Florida Sun Sentinel:

Delray Beach city officials have announced the cancellation of two events next year — St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Pride event — before a new state law takes effect that bans funding and promotion for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

“Following a review of the legislation and its requirements, the city has determined that it is legally prohibited from organizing, funding or promoting these events in 2027,” the city wrote in a statement on its website.

City Manager Terrence Moore said in an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel that the St. Patrick’s Day Parade could be hosted if an outside, “private interest” offered to sponsor it.

“We are open for business in that regard,” he said. Otherwise, “any DEI event we can no longer sponsor.”

And what is this terrifying thing, often characterized as “woke”, so dangerous it cannot even be discussed in Florida’s schools?

1. Diversity: Having people from different racial, ethnic, gender, religious, socioeconomic, and other backgrounds represented in an organization.
2. Equity: Attempting to ensure fair opportunities by recognizing and addressing disadvantages or barriers.
3. Inclusion: Creating an environment in which people from different backgrounds are respected, welcomed, and allowed to participate fully.

OMG! How awful. Different backgrounds in an organization. Fair opportunities. Respected, welcomed and allowed to participate. Who could imagine such outrages?

Surely not Nazis, not the Ku Klux Klan, and not the MAGAs. For them, only white, Christiona, male bigots are respectable enough even to be discussed, let alone allowed to be among us.

In the Trump/DeSantis world, a gay-pride parade will turn your children gay, and presumably, a St. Patrick’s Day Parade will turn your children Irish.

So do exactly as Governor DeSantis does: Burn all the books that even mention “gay” or “Irish” so as not to lead your kids into temptation.

And, remember, he wants to be our next president, so he can spread his anti-gay. anti-black, anti-Latino, anti-nonchristian, anti-minority, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant gospel all across America.

While a gay-pride or St. Patrick parade are forbidden, and a Muslim parade would cause a riot, a Christmas parade is just fine.
