Yep, friend, this is an actual email that Victory Fund received. [LGBTQ+ Victory Fund logo]( "Opposing radical leftist ideologies, false narratives, and political indoctrination excused as 'education' does not constitute 'hate'. Homosexuality is not anything a person should be condemned for, nor is it anything that should be praised or portrayed as 'normal'. It is obviously abnormal, and is rooted in mental illness. Governor DeSantis is absolutely right." -- some random bigot online Yep, friend, this is an actual email that Victory Fund received. We get a lot of hate mail.
