Partner John Quinn joined WSVN 7 News to discuss yesterday’s historic settlement agreement effectively nullifying the most dangerous and discriminatory impacts of Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay" law.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve been able to get to clarity where there was confusion. So many areas where there was concern, anxiety, fear, and overcorrection are all now made clear.”

The settlement makes clear that the law must be applied neutrally and is no license to discriminate against or erase LGBTQ+ families, and restores the ability of students, teachers, and others in Florida schools to speak and write freely about sexual orientation and gender identity in class participation and schoolwork.

The Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP legal team includes Roberta Kaplan, John Quinn, Joshua Matz, Kate Doniger, and Brandon Trice.
