Equality Florida

The organization has also played a key leadership role in overturning Florida's ban on gay and lesbian adoption, which was struck down in 2015 and repealed in 2015.The charity's efforts have expanded from conducting workshops with major Florida employers to training media, law enforcement, health care and the faith community.[10][better source needed] Equality Florida's Safe and Healthy Schools Program was created in the aftermath of the Pulse massacre in Orlando in an effort to counter anti-LGBTQ animosity.The goal of the program is for each of Florida's 67 school districts to adopt comprehensive, nationally recognized best practices for meeting the needs of LGBTQ students and in doing so build a model that can be replicated nationwide.#HonorThemWithAction is a national campaign that began as a way for individuals to share on social media how they were honoring the victims, survivors and families of Pulse by taking actions in their community to combat discrimination and violence against LGBTQ+ and Latinx people.[15][better source needed] Equality Florida hosts annual galas in Gainesville, Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Miami, Palm Beach, Orlando, Tallahassee, St. Pete, Jacksonville and Sarasota to raise funds for the organization's advocacy actions.
