    For one, that these "Don't Say Gay" laws aren't "Don't Say Gay" laws. They are.

    No it's not. And until the right can accurately respond , any conversation or debate on the "Don's say Gay" laws is flawed from the start.

    I remember the quaint mantra of deviants, not too many decades ago. They would say that they aren't hurting anyone. And that they just want to be left alone to live their lives. Fair enough.
    Now our Governor has to pass eleven different bills just to keep these deviants away from our children. So much for just wanting to be left alone. In fact, it is normal people who aren't hurting anyone, and who just want these sexual perverts to leave us alone. But they refuse. So we have to actually pass bills to hold them back. This isn't two sides of the same coin. This is about right and wrong, virtuousness and deviancy, innocence and corruption.

    What isnt accurate? Its a fact. Nothing in the statute prohibits someone from saying "gay". It prohibits 1st thru 3rd grade "instruction" on "sexual orientation" or "gender identity".

    Right. Don’t say gay to kids based on an arbitrary standard. And not just 3rd grade.
    Glad we cleared that up.

    In your view of “right and wrong, virtuousness and deviancy, innocence and corruption” can you explain why a book having a gay character or homosexual partners to a child alone shouldn’t be allowed but books with a relationship between a woman and a animal is? Or a book with two teen lovers committing suicide? Or one that discusses the emissions of animals?

    Saying the word "gay" isnt "instruction" on "sexual orientation".

    There are even genderless languages, but hopefully Florida Church Moms won't find out to make them illegal. :D

    So, in what context are teachers allowed to say gay? Showing a Disney movie with gay characters is clearly not okay.

    If you are inclined to explain that gay also means happy, don’t waste my time.

    We only have her word that is what her suspension is about. I for one am suspicious of that claim being true and there is probably a larger story there. We will find out more at the hearings.

    What is insane is that you believe that is what it is about.

    Lmao. Not true. Most right-wingers do not even know what "gender identity" is. With usage of such language, one would think you are against these snowflakey Conservatives who are losing their cool over a friggen Disney movie been shown in school.

    Sadly that is not the case though

    What has Little Musso been up to lately?

    We do know that he hasn't booted his so-called Christian anti-GLBTQ Bridget Zeigler from the Sarasota School Board for admitting to sexual romps with another woman and her perverted tubby-hubby.
    No matter how many protests and calls for Bridget to resign from the school board for some reason Ronnie has kept the other "Me thinks the lady doth protest too much" hypocrite Bridget on the board.
    Why is that? :roflol:



    'Gender ID, sexual orientation can be talked about in Florida classrooms after lawsuit settlement'
    Source: CBS News/AP

    March 11, 2024 / 5:17 PM EDT


    Students and teachers will be able to speak freely about sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida classrooms, provided it's not part of instruction, under a settlement reached Monday between Florida education officials and civil rights attorneys who had challenged a state law which critics dubbed "Don't Say Gay."

    The settlement clarifies what is allowed in Florida classrooms following passage two years ago of the law prohibiting instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades. Opponents said the law had created confusion about whether teachers could identity themselves as LGBTQ+ or if they even could have rainbow stickers in classrooms. Other states used the Florida law as a template to pass prohibitions on classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation. Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and North Carolina are among the states with versions of the law.

    Under the terms of the settlement, the Florida Board of Education will send instructions to every school district saying the Florida law doesn't prohibit discussing LGBTQ+ people, nor prevent anti-bullying rules on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or disallow Gay-Straight Alliance groups. The settlement also spells out that the law is neutral — meaning what applies to LGBTQ+ people also applies to heterosexual people — and that it doesn't apply to library books not being used in the classroom.

    "What this settlement does, is, it re-establishes the fundamental principal, that I hope all Americans agree with, which is every kid in this country is entitled to an education at a public school where they feel safe, their dignity is respected and where their families and parents are welcomed," Roberta Kaplan, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, said in an interview. "This shouldn't be a controversial thing."
