Randy Rainbow is back with a new parody music video, this time taking on Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, better known as “Don’t Say Gay or Trans,” which Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law March 28.
The song titled “GAY!” is a parody of “Shy” from the musical “Once Upon a Mattress.”
The video has amassed more than 250,000 across social media within the first hour of its release and began trending on Twitter almost immediately.
The controversial bill forbids discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in school classrooms for certain grade levels. It will also ban discussion on those two topics in any grade level if not deemed “age-appropriate,” although the law does not define what that means, and would allow a parent to sue a school district for violations.
The bill has garnished national attention and been mocked on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Oscars, and has been condemned by the White House.
