Opinion: Ron DeSantis, ‘Don’t say gay,’ and the new GOP ‘snitch culture’

[goldmom]

Mary Todd was also a figure in history. Additionally, it’s not like there were tons of out of the closet gays until recent history. Excluding the Romans/Greeks.

I wonder if this law would ban the fact that a male Cabinet member has a husband? If he should run for and win higher office and his husband appears at his side? If it came up in a class and a third grader should ask, what then?
I think it could happen and educators should be prepared to answer. Professionally it puts a teacher in a tough spot if there’s a law against even acknowledging it.

Make no mistake, if this is passed as is it will lead to a rise in teen suicides in Florida. Ron DeSantis doesn't care one bit how many gay kids die in Florida if it helps him become POTUS in 2024. Dead gay kids. Floridians who died because of Covid that could have lived with the help of a vaccination or social distancing... It doesn't matter. DeSantis is never going to miss an opportunity to swing to the right to win 2024 primary voters hearts and minds.

Cause you live here and know so much about our state and our demographics.

We don't want special status. We want equal status, jackass.

That's not what the cake and marriage license incident were about.

There are things to be taught in school and things to be taught at home. No one is saying LQBTQ people don't exist, it just isn't what public school should be focused on. Many of us believe God exists but the left won't allow us to teach about him in school. Somethings are to be taught at home.

This is the kind of disinformation that you guys believe that shows a complete lack of common sense. I'm going to say this loudly so maybe it sinks in. "NO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING HOW TO BE GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

What the hell, man?

Us being able to marry is equal status. Only straights being able to marry is special status. How are you this bad at this?

What was the reason the couple crossed state lines to get their marriage license? What was the reason the couple who wanted a cake couldn't simply go to another shop and order one?

Equal status! All the gays want are the same rights you guys have. We want to be able to marry and to be able to get the same cakes as you guys. Stop fighting it and be an adult and support equal status

False. There were other cake stores available and their were other counties in which to get a marriage license. It was a manufactured incident to drum up controversy.

If the county was issuing marriage licenses to straight couples but not gay couples it's not equal status. If the cake baker was selling wedding cakes to straight couples but not gay couples it's not equal treatment. Equal is equal, meaning everyone is treated the same.

No, because it's what mental health experts say. You know, the people your governor should be listening to if he gave a F about running Florida. But, as stated, everything he is doing right now is being done in order to secure the GOP's nomination for the 2024 presidential race.
Here is another example. DeSantis went to his safe space on Fox and decried how Joe Rogan is being cancelled because Rogan and Spotify cleaned up some old episodes where Rogan used the N word. Never back down, never say you are sorry was the advise of DeSantis. As a reminder, Rogan signed a $100 million dollar contract, and speaks to millions of people. But, yeah, your governor is on TV decrying the cancel culture.

Good for him. Cancel Culture is poisonous.

He knows this. He doesn't care. His real goal is to push people like me back to the margins of society.

If a business refuses to serve certain populations they should be required to have signage at the entrance. See how good that would be for business.

Backing down to the woke mob was a huge mistake. They will only be emboldened to keep going now.
