Point made. CNN link. LOL that's funnyThe media called it the dont say gay law. Squish only repeats what his media tells him to repeat. Come on, you guys should that by nowExcept that's not what we are debating. You conveniently moved the goalposts and then argued against the new position of the posts after the old position proved you were flat out wrong.I’m old enough to remember when talking to 3rd graders about sex was something frowned upon by 99% of the population. How that morphed into a platform agenda of the Democratic Party is mind boggling.
It still is. Acknowledging that LGBT+ people exist in the world is not talking about sex.
No one is doing that.
Except in Florida with the so called "Don't Say Gay" bill, which Republicans are now trying to go national with:
A national 'Don't Say Gay' law? Republicans introduce bill to restrict LGBTQ-related programs
The bill’s definition of “sexually-oriented material” includes anything that relates to sexual orientation or gender identity.www.nbcnews.com
A national 'Don't Say Gay' law? Republicans introduce bill to restrict LGBTQ-related programs
[...]
The bill defines “sexually-oriented material” as “any depiction, description, or simulation of sexual activity, any lewd or lascivious depiction or description of human genitals, or any topic involving gender identity, gender dysphoria, transgenderism, sexual orientation, or related subjects.”
[...]
If someone's sexual orientation is mentioned that makes it fall under the category of "sexually-oriented material" and as such, would be a prohibited topic.
You keep repeating this nonsense as if it's true. No where does it say "gay". Sounds to me like you can't say "heterosexual" either.
I mean, no matter how many OPINION pieces you try to use to affirm your point, that's all they are - opinions. The law says no such thing about the alphabet mob.
Fun Fact:
Someone who is identified as being gay or lesbian (by themselves or others, directly or indirectly) is describing a sexual orientation, so it achieves the same result without specifying that the actual words gay or lesbian are used.
ACTUAL FUN FACT: Your OPINION (and incorrect interpretation) is not fact. Never has been, never will be.
Nowhere in the bill does it say anything specifically about LGBTQ. In fact, one could say you can't say HETEROSEXUAL either. Seems fair.
Nowhere in the bill does it say anything specifically about LGBTQ
So LGBTQ is not considered a sexual orientation? Yeah, right.
Incorrect again.
Fun Fact: your opinion is NOT fact.
Sorry, but being gay or lesbian is considered a sexual orientation and has been so since the term entered the lexicon.
Fun Fact: Your opinion doesn't make ANYTHING fact. No where in the Bill does it specify alphabet people. or non-alphabet people for that matter.
I did not state an opinion, I stated a fact, which is that being gay or lesbian is considered a sexual orientation.
sex·u·al o·ri·en·ta·tion
noun
- a person's identity in relation to the gender or genders to which they are sexually attracted; the fact of being heterosexual, homosexual, etc.
The debate has been and always will be your misinterpretation (willfully or ignorantly - unsure) of the bill by calling it the "Don't say Gay Bill" and saying it exclusively singles out the alphabet crew despite the Bill not having ANY of the language you insist it does.
The media called it the dont say gay law.
No that was not the title of the law but that is the practical and real world effect.
Recall that I posted in the so called "Don't Say Gay" thread, about the HS Class President in Florida who was a gay activist and was told by the principal if that he talked about being gay and/or his activism, the mic would be cut, so he creatively had to work around it.

CNN link. LOL that's funny
Washington Post says the exact same thing, perhaps you'll find that amusing too (didn't post it earlier because subscriber content only)
