John Labriola, a lobbyist for Christian Family Coalition Florida, urged state lawmakers to extend a prohibition on pronoun use in schools to all city and county governments, claiming religious liberties and freedom of speech are being curtailed by local mandates.
"This is an area where individuals who work for city and county governments their religious liberties and also their freedom of speech is being curtailed by employers who impose gender ideology," Fabriola said.
Fabriola wants legislation ensuring employees who would rather use the person's actual pronoun would not be punished or fired, arguing against local governments mandating the use of preferred pronouns.
The Florida law regarding schools led to trans teachers being fired for asking that preferred pronouns be used, meaning the legislation exposed those government employees to termination.
