What are they trying to inject in? What kind of ideology are they trying to pursue? And that is wrong,” DeSantis bellowed. This, of course, led Twitter to swiftly remind the Florida governor and champion of the harmful “Don’t Say Gay” bill that Bugs Bunny, a character created in the late 1930s and beloved by children around the world, is canonically trans.As people like Zak Wood and others have pointed out on Twitter (leading “Bugs Bunny” to trend), Bugs was based, in part, on the Norse god of mischief and they are typically nonbinary or trans.
Bugs has a history of dressing in drag/blurring the lines of sexuality. (RuPaul once said that Bugs was his first introduction to drag.) And this actually came to be in the 1980s, when trans and gay rights activists adopted the character as a symbol for their culture.
When activists told Chuck Jones, one of the animators behind the character (and arguably one of the most important animators in the 20th century), he canonically accepted that Bugs was, indeed, trans or nonbinary. (At the time he didn’t have the right terminology, often referring to the character as “transexual,” an outdated and potentially harmful term today.
But he was trying!)Jones wrote about Bugs’ sexuality in his book “Chuck Amok: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist,” which was published back in 1990 and film scholars have been discussing the “gender play” of Bugs ever since. If DeSantis is worried about children being indoctrinated by progressive ideas in their animated programming, he’s very, very late (see below).Twitter users were fast point out that Bugs had a history of wearing dressing, slapping on some lipstick and batting his eyes.

Situated on nearly 3.6 acres of land, the Beverly Hills estate is currently owned by “Full House” creator, Jeff Franklin, who purchased the Cielo Drive home in 2007 for $6 million.

camera nods). Very good. There are plenty of signs that DeSantis didn’t really think this through with experts pointing out that the law might actually violate the contract clause of the Florida constitution, and also, the Florida State law requires the county assume the district’s debt when it’s dissolved, which could mean that Orange and Osceola counties, where the district is, inherit upwards of a billion dollars in bond debt.

Ron DeSantis revoking Disney’s special tax district privileges and self-governing abilities.DeSantis signed the measure into law on Friday, marking the latest move by the Governor who has repeatedly railed against “woke corporations.” It was widely viewed as retaliation to Disney over their objections to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. To kick off the discussion on Monday, “View” host Ana Navarro admitted that though she originally supported DeSantis when he became Florida’s governor, she’s lost faith in him and is “really bothered” by his actions against Disney.“I don’t understand, though, how you can call yourself a pro-business, pro-freedom of speech, small government, against canceling conservative, if you want to cancel one of the major corporations in Florida for freely speaking their mind in protection of their employees,” Navarro said.She also pointed out how the bill primarily targets Disney, which is definitely not the only company to have a special tax district in the state.“There are 1,844 special taxing districts in Florida. And so it was to penalize and take revenge against Disney for having dared cross a pet legislative cause of theirs, and that is wrong,” Navarro added.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed legislation on Friday that regulates the teaching of race and gender. The “Stop WOKE Act” or Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees (WOKE) Act restricts any workplace and school instruction that teaches people are “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.” After signing the bill, DeSantis said, “In Florida, we will not let the far-left woke agenda take over our schools and workplaces. There is no place for indoctrination or discrimination in Florida.”The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) condemned the bill for “censoring honest dialogue about systemic racism, gender, and race discrimination.”Cathryn M.
party where loyalty to the former president is a requirement.But DeSantis' decision to punish Disney World, one of the world's most popular tourist destinations and one of Florida's biggest private employers, took his fighter mentality to a new level. In retribution for Disney's criticism of a new state law condemned by critics as “Don't Say Gay,” DeSantis signed legislation on Friday stripping the theme park of a decades-old special agreement that allowed it to govern itself.To critics, including some in his own party, such a raw exercise of power suggests DeSantis is operating with a sense of invincibility that could come back to haunt him.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Scott Disick and Sofia Richie didn’t last forever. The two were first linked together in 2017 after being spotted canoodling in Cannes, with the youngest daughter to Lionel Richie later getting introduced on the E! reality series that Disick frequented as his girlfriend.

tweet as “anti-CRT legislation putting an end to corporate and educational indoctrination in Florida” (“CRT” stands for critical race theory). Critics though, have said the law censors honest dialogue about systemic racism, gender and race discrimination.“Today, Governor DeSantis did the opposite of what the governor of Florida is elected to do – to protect and serve all of his constituents – choosing instead to yet again use the power of the government to punish or censor anyone he disagrees with and attack marginalized Floridians, including the LGBTQ+ community,” said Cathryn M.
