Biden denounces 'hateful' new Florida bill
BBC ^ | Feb 9 | BBC

Posted on 02/09/2022 7:37:57 PM PST by RandFan

US President Joe Biden has condemned a Florida bill that would ban discussion of sexual orientation in primary schools as "hateful" to LGBT students.

Governor Ron DeSantis has signalled his backing for the measure and it appears to have enough support to pass through the state's Republican-led legislature.

Activists have dubbed it the "Don't Say Gay" bill and warn it will stigmatise LGBT people and issues.

But its proponents say the legislation is about protecting parental rights.

The proposal was introduced in the state House of Representatives last month. An identical version advanced in the state Senate on Tuesday.

In a Twitter message to the LGBT community - "especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill" - Mr Biden vowed to "continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve".

At a news conference earlier, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said: "Every parent hopes that our leaders will ensure their children's safety, protection, and freedom.

"Today, conservative politicians in Florida rejected those basic values by advancing legislation that is designed to target and attack the kids who need support the most."

Primary schools. We're talking primary. Joe Biden is a pervert, shocker.

That only means it is precisely on the money, not to mention long long overdue.

Hagting people who are perverting children may be a rare example of where hatred is appropriate.

Do the Dems really get a lot of LGBTQ votes from their supporters? Pretending to like them for virtue signaling may end up losing good peoples’ votes. Or am I wrong?

Gotta wonder who is telling Joe to say that it is hateful.

Does this stuff really need to be discussed in elementary schools? That is where the bill is banning the discussion. As far as I know, the stuff can still be discussed in middle and high schools in an age-appropriate manner.

The raw vote total of genuine LGBT people is probably not all that significant, especially if they're mostly confined in California and urban areas, but there are a lot of 'ally' activists on the left that raise a fuss about this.

Think of it like abortion, plenty of left-wing activists will scream and holler about that despite knowing they're never going to get one or being male.

Biden didn’t write that. Gimme a break. He doesn’t have a clue.

For his staff to release statements and policy positions using his name is a GD disgrace. These people are truly demented.

Biden is a racist, pathetic POS. But to put out a press release that the fake news distribute like it’s fact, is more evidence they don’t any idea what’s really going on in this country.

The Biden team filled this administration with people chosen by one criterion only - that they are known in the “circuit’ as being homosexual and bragging about having chosen to be actively homosexual and to make that the key thing about them and what they promote.

An army of young men with mental problems who have fallen into homosexuality and been told they have no choice in the matter and that nobody should by law seek or give help to such people, have made political candidate and political office-holder jobs their way to advancing their agenda by doing it en masse across the U.S., Canada, etc. We all see as never before for ourselves just how absolutely horrendous that ratcheting up agenda is for the society as a whole and for children in particular. This was their goal. The Florida governor Governor is a clear thinker and a man who cares about the future of his family, his community, his state, his country and the world. He deserves the greatest admiration for actively countering the blight on today’s school systems.

<< that would ban discussion of sexual orientation in primary schools >>

K-3, which is 5-8 years old. No surprise the article omitted that important detail. We’re not talking about 6th graders here.

Yeah, but with this bill there’s no gay porn even for 6th graders.
