A group of gay and lesbian Florida high school students looking for legislative sponsors for an anti-discrimination law instead got an anti-gay lecture from one state representative (Republican, of course). In his comments to the students, Trovillion also quoted scripture and said, "God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and he is going to destroy you and a lot of others."

One youth in attendance said, "We are here lobbying for safe schools, because a lot of us are verbally and physically assaulted in the schools. And he treated us like that in his office?"
