Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., said a law he signed Tuesday limiting girls’ sports at public schools to biological girls was a matter of fairness, not a slam on LGBT people. A reporter suggested DeSantis’ signing of the law was a slap in the LGBT community’s face since June 1 marked the first day of Pride Month. “What message are you sending to LGBT people signing this on the first day of Pride Month?” a reporter asked at the signing in Jacksonville. “It’s not a message to anything other than saying we’re going to protect fairness in women’s sports. We believe that it’s important to have integrity in competition, and we think that it’s important to be able to compete on a level playing field,” DeSantis said.
