Don’t Buy Media’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Distortions About Florida’s Parental Rights Bill

For the crime of trying to protect young children from sexually explicit material in the classroom, Florida legislators are being crucified by the media.
The Florida House recently passed the parental rights bill known as HB 1557, and it has cleared a final committee in the state Senate. Senators now have until March 11 to pass the legislation and put it on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk.
The media has wildly distorted the intent of the bill. Yes, I know, what’s new?
But the sheer level of message discipline by a broad swath of media outlets to promote the message of left-wing Democrats is impressive.
A quick internet search reveals an almost uniform effort in the media to call HB 1557 the “don’t say gay” bill. NPR, ABC, NBC, and The Associated Press are among many news outlets that have labeled it as such.
Not only is this label for the legislation clearly just aligning with the message that Democrat opponents want to promote, it’s also not in any way accurate about what the bill would do.
When one looks at the text, there is nothing about not saying “gay.” This points to the larger issue that Democrats who oppose the bill, and their media allies, don’t want to discuss the specifics.
Instead, they want to use the debate as an opportunity to label conservatives and Republicans as mean and hateful.
Some of the criticism has devolved into outright hysterics.

The legislation needs to be stronger. They should reintroduce the amendment to require notification to parents of children “identifying” as queer and/or joining a queer club at school.
They should also require parents to be notified of any openly “gay” or “trans” teachers at their child’s school and give them the option to opt out of those classes.

“That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.”

Leftist rage shows its disgusting face once again, this time in reaction to regular folks fighting back against the destructive attempts to brainwash their children.
The nerve!

That’s a 20th century development. The word is older and was a useful word for anything weird, strange.
