Description
A local youth summer camp is making changes after several bills were recently signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The changes to their operations are to protect themselves.
"I'm really grateful to know that, of course, the top priority, you know, is the safety of the campers, while also not causing an atmosphere of fear for them," Brandyn Barksdale said.
She's a mother of two children in the LGBTQ+ community. That was her reaction when she found they were adding security to make sure the staff and campers are safe.
"My kids and I are all a part of the community, so it's just something we bond over. To have that week, where you can be free to just absolutely be yourself. Honestly, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," Barksdale said.
