NFTRW Weekly Top Five

Here are the top five comment generating posts of the past week:

www.fastcompany.com: Just beyond the walls of the Happiest Place on Earth, a lot of people are currently miserable. Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would penalize schoolteachers for acknowledging the existence of gay people during class, is on its way to the state Senate with backing from Governor Ron DeSantis, inciting outrage among the LGBTQ community and its many allies.
