The LGBTQ+ ally spoke up about the bill's passing on social media.
Shawn Mendes has a short and sweet message for the LGBTQ+ community following the passing of the Don't Say Gay bill through the Florida Senate.
The proposed legislation "prohibits instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade and places a vague requirement of 'age-appropriate' instruction in all grade levels," according to The Advocate. The bill is now headed to the governor's desk to sign.
In response to the news, the Canadian tweeted, "Florida, call your senators!" He also posted the website, then the hashtag, #LetFreeFloridaSayGay
\u201cFlorida, call your senators !\u00a0https://t.co/MMa6iufpXf #LetFreeFloridaSayGay\u201d— Shawn Mendes (@Shawn Mendes) 1646699480
The "Senorita" singer has shut down speculation surrounding his sexuality over and over again throughout the years, and this is just the latest example of his allyship.
