While Florida has received national attention for what opponents call the "Don't Say Gay" law, the trend is national, particularly in red states. The American Civil Liberties Union is tracking nearly 470 bills it considers to be anti-LGBTQ+, most of which are in states with Republican-controlled the Legislature, such as Texas, Missouri, Florida and Tennessee.(Martha Asencio-Rhine/Tampa Bay Times via AP, File)
