State Rep. Patricia Todd has had her employment offer from a Florida LGBTQ nonprofit rescinded for strongly suggesting that Gov. Kay Ivey is gay and deserves to be outed, the organization announced Thursday.

Todd, Alabama's first openly gay state lawmaker, was set to become executive director of the One Orlando Alliance -- a group formed in wake of the Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016 -- on June 1.

"After careful deliberation, the board of directors of One Orlando Alliance unanimously decided to retract the offer of employment made to Patricia Todd to serve as executive director of the organization," the chairwoman of the group's board, Jennifer Foster, said in a statement. "The board affirms that Ms. Todd's recent comments are not aligned with the values of One Orlando Alliance. We strongly believe that coming out is a personal choice and we do not support involuntarily outing."

On Tuesday night, Todd made social media posts saying that she heard Ivey was gay and urged for someone to out the governor. Todd offered no evidence for her claims, which Ivey called a "disgusting lie" perpetrated by a "paid liberal hack."

Foster said the situation was "challenging" for the One Orlando Alliance, whose mission is to help institutions "create a safe, welcoming and inclusive community for all LGBTQ+ people."

Christopher Cuevas of QLatinx, one of the organizations that is a part of the alliance, called Todd's posts about Ivey "psychic and emotional violence."

"Weaponizing queerness through the act of outing others is a violation of the sacred rite that we as queer people undergo in our journey of self-discovery. It is a form of psychic and emotional violence; a violence that robs one of their ability to self-actualize and manifest their truth; a violence that hinders the fostering of fellowship and community; a violence that calls into question our ability to see the value in trusting others with our authentic self," Cuevas said. "When our humanity is violated in this way, how can we find space to begin healing in self and to promote the healing and growth of others?"
