Players on the National Women's Soccer League's Florida club — the Orlando Pride — protested the state's "Don't Say Gay" legislation ahead of their home game against the North Carolina Courage.
Stars on the roster were filmed wearing black T-shirts with "GAY" written in white across the chest while getting off the team's coach bus ahead of Saturday's Challenge Cup match.
The professional athletes made the collective gesture just two days before Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill — which bars Florida public-school teachers through third grade from including discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in their lesson planning — into law Monday.
