"LGBTQ+ rights are being challenged across the United States, including in Florida, where the virulent politics have captured global headlines for their cruelty towards some of the state’s most vulnerable, while also undermining the country’s core freedoms. For many in the community, Florida has rapidly become a hostile environment as new laws concerning healthcare, education, and the workplace take effect.

We strongly believe it is more important now than ever before to continue our necessary and urgent work."

      Sorry you have to deal with this shit, must be infuriating.

      The safety of our community is paramount. We are devoting enormous care and resources—in close coordination with our various event properties, transportation partners, and local authorities—to ensure a secure event.

      How about, idk, going to a state that’s not actively trying to eradicate trans people?

      We respect anyone who decides they will not attend. Every individual invited by their company to the Workplace Summit deserves the space and support to navigate their individual concerns and circumstances related to safety and security. For those who decide to not travel, the e-pass attendee option will provide a terrific set of Workplace Summit experiences.

      This is the exact same bullshit we heard about “personal risk assessment” when all the libs wanted to go back to brunch.

      (also GDQ >>>>>)
