To be honest, everything I've read that's actually from the bill seems pretty reasonable. The sections quoted in the news just say that schools can't teach age inappropriate sexual orientation/gender material and it allows a legal path for parents if schools violate that. It's actually kind of shocking that schools in other states can teach peoples' children whatever they want about sex and gender and there's just no recourse for parents.

That's what I've gotten from it too. It's not about "don't say gay", it's about literal children being indoctrinated into things that are age-inappropriate, like sexuality and gender identity.

It's being called "don't say gay" because the US media has billions of dollars and influence from politicians and billionaires. They want to brainwash all of us, and are using LGB since that's a hot-button topic. TQ+ is using LGB as a shield for their own efforts, so media and politicians are capitalizing on us and even them.

It's propaganda.

Non-LGB society sees LGB and TQ+ as the same thing because we're all the alphabet soup. So if adults and teachers are trying to open toddler's minds to sex and/or gender, that's all of our letters (to them).

I don't blame conservatives at all for fighting it. Non-conservatives may have different and equally valid reasons for opposing it though.

For me, it's about the introduction of pedophilia, that's the slippery slope. I'll sit in my shitty conservative-assigned gender role for the rest of my life, but I WILL FIGHT against pedos/MAPs.

But here's the thing. Conservatives don't want pedos. Liberals don't want pedos. Everyone says pedos are bad, except pedos. So who or what are bringing that into this, and why aren't we focusing on them instead of all this in-fighting?

That's my same take on the bill as well. The law doesn't ban children from talking about their families in schools. It's just that you cannot talk about any sexual orientation in schools because children cannot process sexuality.
