Officials from the Biden administration met with Florida LGBTQ students and their families in a virtual roundtable concerning the now-dubbed "Don't Say Gay" bill and other legislative efforts advocates deem anti-LGBTQ.
U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona and Rachel L. Levine, assistant secretary for health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, listened to the students and their family members discuss concerns and fears about the impact of such bills.
The two were advised on what resources could be provided to support the Florida LGBTQ community.
"Laws around the country, including in Florida, have targeted and sought to bully some of our most vulnerable students and families, and create division in our schools," Cardona said in a statement.
He added: "My message to you is that this Administration won't stand for bullying or discrimination of any kind, and we will use our authorities to protect, support, and provide opportunities for LGBTQI+ students and all students."
The Biden administration has denounced the efforts as "hateful."
"Every parent hopes that our leaders will ensure their children's safety, protection, and freedom," the White House said in a statement Feb. 8.
It continued: "Today, conservative politicians in Florida rejected those basic values by advancing legislation that is designed to target and attack the kids who need support the most – LGBTQI+ students, who are already vulnerable to bullying and violence just for being themselves."
After the bill was passed by the Florida House and Senate, Cardona slammed the legislators responsible for its passage.
Legislation targeting the LGBTQ community has sent shockwaves throughout the U.S.
States continue to debate whether trans youth should receive gender-affirming health care, whether trans girls should be allowed to play girls' sports, or whether LGBTQ content can be taught in schools.

Keep that Levine POS out of Florida.
ABCNews/Disney supports pedo-groomers.
If your political persuasion is advocating the sexualization of children you are wrong.
The lies about this bill never stop. But the truth just isn’t in Joe Biden, a serial liar and plagiarist.
Excluding this filth from the schools all well and good, but when are some politicians going to have the courage to say that buggery is immoral, disgusting and unacceptable in a sane society?
SMDH! “I’m telling grandpa! Then you’ll be in trouble.” If dizzknee CEO had a set, anyone walking off would be considered a quit without notice. Of course that would be considered proof of homophobia so.......
So you wanted to be in management eh? Here ya go.
Funny, I thought it was dubbed the “anti-grooming” bill.
Brilliant.
At the risk of modertator ire, I’ll say, “It took balls for ‘her’ to do what ‘she’ did.”
Why do people have a problem with perverted mental illness being pushed on small children? /s
“Help us Mr Biden! If we can’t convert them before they finish grade school, we will lose most of them”!
Oops, I thought I was responding to the Swimmer story.
I’m going to start a LGBT oil workers advocacy group. It’s best to use your opponents own mistakes to your benefit. If it means drilling, extraction, and distribution of our domestic energy it is the only way to get a sit down.
I was having lunch with an attorney before gay marriage was legal. The fight was going on about “equality.” He told me, “It’s not about marriage. It’s about legalizing pedophilia.” I thought that was a huge stretch. But everything he talked about has come to pass.
Like the boiling frog experiment, maybe the frog will jump out and this is the sign of that. On the other hand, the Overton Window* suggests that the fight is already lost.

Its the Anti Pedophile Grooming Bill.
The education of students in sexual persuasion has no more place in schools for Florida voters’ kids than prayer has for the rest of the US. You want to teach youth about a questionable sexual fashion, then precede it with a prayer for the guidance of it being handled in a manner of instruction and not trying to create a false image of it. If you can talk sex, then talk religion also. You can’t have it both ways and be teaching it. One and the other are synonymous as associated with or suggestive of something in an opposite manner. Show both sides. That’s teaching, not programing.
