The billboards were paid for by the Southern Progress Political Action Committee, which is seeking to expose the anti-LGBT extremist agenda of Republican politicians.

Ally Sammarco, a volunteer for the PAC, told NBC affiliate WESH on Tuesday of Winter Park. “We want to make it very clear that it’s OK to talk about who you are and where you come from, and no one can stop you from doing that.” She also said the next billboard will be going up this week in Miami.
