More than $3.6 billion spent on Don't Say Gay damage control.
LGBTQInnos High School of Palm Beach, a school with a capacity of 702 students, was crammed with 16,310 students.
LGBTQInnos High School of Miami-Dade, a school with a capacity of 2,401 students, was crammed with 25,492 students.
Concerns about HB 1557 rose. The LGBTQInnos School Union identified this as a threat to the schools in Miami and Palm Beach. Most of the administration did not believe it would be passed.
In late March, the bill was signed into law, and was to take effect in July. The LGBTQInnos School Union came to the conclusion that the bill would cause significant overcrowding and homeless issues.
Palm Beach and Miami schools rushed to expand their buildings to accommodate for the mass amounts of new students.
Immediately, Camp Innos and the dorms of Palm Beach and Miami were overwhelmed with the influx of LGBTQ+ youth who became homeless, being outed as a direct result of this bill.
COVID-19 and other illnesses significantly spread as a direct result of the overcrowding. It took three weeks before more than 95% of individuals in these facilities reported feeling symptoms.
The schools felt the first effects of the influx of individuals. Since it was summer, schools did not have an idea of what they were in for.
These schools were heavily fined for maximum capacity overages, blocked exits, and more: but they had no choice.
The LGBTQInnos School Union's Budget Department identified a significant budget problem that ultimately led to the temporary shutdown of LGBTQInnos as a whole, where they could not meet the expenses for the remainder of the year.
Fortunately, it was later found that a school inadvertently failed to report Pridefest fundraising revenue, and that was significant enough to meet the entire organization's expenses.
The Class of 2023 of the Miami and Palm Beach schools were named "The Last Class," as The LGBTQInnos School Union could not keep up with the expenses of running Miami and Palm Beach, as a significantly overcrowded school.
Over $2 billion alone was spent on the two schools, and it was not a realistic option.
The Class of 2023 graduated, and the Palm Beach and Miami schools were closed and swiftly demolished. The dorms however continued to house the homeless LGBTQ+ youth until September 2023.
Individuals in the Don't Say Gay Homeless program were relocated to a place of their choice. Many went to other LGBTQInnos locations, public schools, and some even decided to move abroad.
