A group of civil rights organizations on Thursday sued Florida over its controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law, calling it “cruel” and a “grave abuse of power.”

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court’s Northern District of Florida by several groups and individuals, including Equality Florida and Family Equality. Among the defendants listed in suit are Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Florida State Board of Education and a number of county school boards.

“This effort to control young minds through state censorship — and to demean LGBTQ lives by denying their reality — is a grave abuse of power,” the lawsuit reads.
