Florida removed the LGBTQ+ page from its tourism website as the state seeks to limit LGBTQ+ visibility and remove related material from its schools and government policies.

Connecticut 's tourism site CTVisit.com puts it out there with a " Connecticut is alive with LGBTQ+ Pride!" page with colorful images of happy residents, Pride events, local destinations and a laundry list of progressive achievements.

In 2021 , California banned state-funded travel to Florida back in 2021 because of discriminatory laws.

Out Leadership dropped Florida from its 2022 State LGBTQ+ Business Climate Index.

Tim Walz , governor of Minnesota and current Democratic vice president candidate, regularly poked at DeSantis and his "anti-woke" policies.
