DeSantis has now vetoed funding to survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting and a LGBT homeless youth shelter despite $9.5 billion budget reserve<\/h2>\n<h6><em>By Andrew Fraieli<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>On Wednesday, days before the 5th anniversary of the deadliest act of violence against LGBT people in the United States, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed every bill on his desk directly helping queer Floridans, including survivors of that massacre.<\/p>\n<p>This $150,000 was cut despite the signed budget leaving\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flgov.com\/2021\/06\/02\/governor-ron-desantis-signs-the-florida-leads-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$9.5 billion in reserves<\/a>. It would have provided counseling to survivors of the shooting that took place at Orlando\u2019s Pulse nightclub in June of 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Also taken from the budget was $750,000 already approved by the Florida Legislature to help the Orlando-based Zebra Coalition renovate a motel to house LGBT homeless youth.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s veto comes only a day after another move targeting LGBT Floridians where DeSantis signed into law a ban on transgender athletes participating in women\u2019s or girls\u2019 sports in high school and college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s be clear about what this is: Governor DeSantis has declared war on Florida\u2019s LGBTQ community,\u201d said Brandon Wolf, a Pulse survivor now working for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eqfl.org\/press-release-lgbtq-groups-blast-governor-desantis-stripping-all-funding-lgbtq-programs-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Equality Florida, an LGBTQ civil rights organization.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cBefore the 2019 Remembrance Ceremony, Governor DeSantis stood on hallowed ground, steps from where I escaped the building in 2016, and promised me that he would always support those of us impacted by the Pulse nightclub shooting. Today, almost two years later to date, he vetoed mental health services for us. I will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without the $150,000 of state funding, Orlando\u2019s LGBTQ Community Center \u2014 the main entity that supports Pulse survivors and victim\u2019s families \u2014 says they now have to search for funding for the next fiscal year now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe now must pivot to find funding to continue serving Orlando&#8217;s LGBTQ community at the same level as we had planned for the upcoming fiscal year,\u201d said the organization&#8217;s executive director, George A. Wallace, in a press release. \u201cYesterday marked the first day of Pride Month and Governor DeSantis has once again proved that he is one of the most homophobic and transphobic governors in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor\u2019s office has rejected the criticism of their budgetary decisions though, saying that the general budget\u2019s spending for community mental health services has increased by $212 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor DeSantis has been a champion on mental health since day one \u2014 and he absolutely supports each and every Floridian who has experienced such horrific trauma, which has a lifelong impact on survivors,\u201d Christina Pushaw, DeSantis\u2019s spokeswoman, had said to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/politics\/os-ne-gov-ron-desantis-vetoes-pulse-counseling-fund-lgbtq-homeless-housing-20210602-fnuf5hpylbdyfhsyoyvb2f4jh4-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0the Orlando Sentinel.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But this general direction of funding doesn\u2019t change the Zebra Coalition\u2019s circumstances, having to afford a $1.4 million motel renovation without the state\u2019s $750,000 funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt got past lawmakers, that\u2019s the exciting thing, it didn\u2019t die. It got all the way past lawmakers and then all of a sudden it was vetoed with the stroke of a pen,\u201d Heather Wilkie, the executive director of the Zebra Coalition, told the Homeless Voice.<\/p>\n<p>Wilkie explains they applied for funding at the beginning of the year to assist in the renovations. She said news of the veto was very upsetting as they need to expand, \u201cbecause there\u2019s such a need for these youths to have a place to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Trevor Project, a non-profit organization focused on suicide prevention among the LGBT community, 29% of all LGBT youth experienced homelessness.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beta.homelessvoice.org\/the-worsening-challenges-of-homeless-lgbt-youth-in-a-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wilkie has seen their own numbers go up as the pandemic has gone on<\/a>, saying there\u2019s always a waitlist of several youths at any point in time.<\/p>\n<p>But, the completed motel would hold about 35 youths, and would triple their capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The funding for the Zebra Coalition\u2019s project was also included in a transparency report by Florida TaxWatch, called the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/floridataxwatch.org\/Research\/Full-Library\/ArtMID\/34407\/ArticleID\/19043\/2021-Budget-Turkey-Watch-Report-An-analysis-of-the-transparency-and-accountability-of-the-budget-process\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cBudget Turkey Watch Report.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0According to their website, the report \u201cidentifies appropriations that circumvent transparency and accountability standards in public budgeting.\u201d Their $750,000 of funding lies in the category of bills which \u201cwould not have received funding without being added at the very last minute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comparing the full watch report, 32 bills were included that ended up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.documentcloud.org\/documents\/20795700\/florida-governors-2021-veto-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vetoed by the governor.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Without the funding, Wilkie says, the Zebra Coalition will need to fully rely on the community for now \u2014 though they intend on reapplying for the $750,000 as soon as they can, in September. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine raising that much money, but we can try. At the same time, I will say I\u2019m not giving up, it\u2019s put a fire under us to say, \u2018Hey, we need this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the first week of Pride month, Gov.
