https://news.yahoo.com/ron-desantis-faces-one-setback-212154484.htmlMultiple federal court decisions have frozen key portions of Ron DeSantis campaign against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights in recent weeks, complicating the Florida governors efforts to present himself as a conservative champion with a track record of winning cultural battles over LGBTQ causes.
In the last week alone, the DeSantis administration faced setbacks in three legal battles over LGBTQ rights. Judges rejected state efforts to block transgender adults access to gender-affirming care under Medicaid, bar transgender children from accessing puberty blockers, and ban minors from certain types of live entertainment at restaurants legislation widely interpreted as a proposal to target drag shows.
DeSantis agenda has hit other roadblocks, with judges blocking portions of his plans to control teaching and training on gender identity in schools and workplaces. The governor also faces ongoing litigation over his efforts to ban transgender athletes from competing on sports teams of their declared gender and to restrict access to school books, including those with LGBTQ themes.

In a lot of cases, Republicans who passed these laws did it for political show, knowing the courts would block them, in some cases their own state courts.
The battle goes on.
