I sincerely hope that the way you've framed this isn't the truth because it would mean that the media and politicians are OK with what this is fighting against, but I suspect you're right because this shit is not even close to controversial in real life. I see this all the time in local news headlines but nobody in real life has an issue with it.
By the way, shame on even local news because I hear about this supposedly "controversial bill" but I am at a loss in what is contained in it. It may very well be for the better that they don't let us know what's in it, because a lot of people may agree with it. They've let me know about abortion laws, but they're cagey on this one.
It is completely misrepresented, the article in this tweet explains it well
but here is the general language
“The legislative text of the House version of the bill reads, 'Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.'
It not does ban words or even causal discussion of gender issues. “
Yet here you can see the crazy libtards
President Joe Biden called an early version of the bill 'hateful.'
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg claimed it will increase suicides among LGBTQ+ youth.
On Tuesday's episode of 'Watch What Happens Live' Bravo host Andy Cohen called the bill's passage 'personally disturbing,' and told Florida Republicans that they're pretending to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
'This is one big dog whistle. You're scaring people into spewing hate and discrimination at the LGBTQ community,' he said.
On Wednesday, the White House doubled down again. Press Secretary Jen Psaki called the bill 'discriminatory,' 'horrific,' and 'a form of bullying' against LGBTQ children and families.
