Anti-Gay Governor Ron DeSantis often touts his record during the pandemic, even though it’s largely a myth. Florida ranks fourth in the country in total deaths behind California, Texas, and New York, and in deaths per capita, Florida ranks 22. Now, after two years of denying that detailed COVID-19 data relating to 2021 infections and vaccines existed, and then being forced by a court to turn it over, Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Health have agreed to a settlement that will require the state to disclose coronavirus data on its web site and pay attorneys fees for attempting to circumvent state public records law. The settlement, announced by the Florida Center for Government Accountability, a non-profit public records watchdog that sued the state on behalf of former state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, requires the department to publish detailed COVID-19 data on the Florida Department of Health website and pay $152,250 in legal fees to attorneys representing FLCGA and Smith. Florida’s first out gay Latino legislator, Smith, first took office months after the Pulse nightclub shooting, and is now running for state senate. #Queer Up Politics
