Thank you, Pop info, for your excellent work, not only highlighting the absurdity and outright bigotry and discrimination against LGBTQ Folks in Florida and DeSantis' abundant yet incompetent fascism, but the good, hard work of providing excellent journalism every day. If only more journalists aspired to such professionalism.

Great job! DiSantis is now a weakened loser;on day closer to his political career being over! Now, onward to the same for Trump. VOTE in November! End Project 2025 before it starts!

The reaction from DeSantis is hilarious. He had to tuck his tail and abandon his bullshit culture war in court. Yet he still tried to claim it as a win. What a coward.

Given that right-wing attempts to erase the LGBTQIA+ community will undoubtedly continue, I'm reserved in my celebration here. That said, a victory is still a victory, esp. when it comes at Ron DeSantis's expense.

My first response was to share the Popular Information link on my Twitter or X address. I keep this account so that I stay in touch with the wisdom of Laurence Tribe, John Flannery, and minds like theirs.

How wonderful to have affirmation for your hard work via the law! And, how interesting how DeSantis made himself so unpopular and unsuccessful through his neurotic ambitions. Great work, Judd Legum and team!

I’m curious, what responses are you getting? I deleted my Twitter account shortly after Musk bought it.

This is good news and how very sad that they had to fight for two years to achieve it. Thanks for persistent reporting on this issue.

Say it loud! Be gay and be PROUD!

Anyone who has an issue with anyone expressing pride in themselves, heritage or whatever should keep it to themselves.

Well done to you for your persistence. Please continue to fight the good fight and especially because this Substack has shamed the larger media into coverage of several topics. All to spur greater factual coverage and civil discourse. Bing forwarded perhaps a closer look at the financial ties between the GOP crazies and ———well who knows

Judd, I would suggest a victory lap, but there’s still too much work to be done. Thanks to you and your team for this perfect example of why unfettered journalism is so vitally important.

This reporting gives courage and optimism to the truly good people of Florida, to stand up and vote for compassion, knowledge and sanity!

We all need to watch very closely for and rail against early telltales that they are attempting to slime their way out of complying with the court’s decision. They are sneaky b***ards and need to be watched like a hawk.

Well done. Your investigative reporting made a difference by shining a light, creating awareness, and driving change. Remember when MSM used to care enough about digging up the truth? Now they just sell soap.
