Um, what? Tennessee considering Don't Say Gay bill for K-8 schools

Lawmakers in Tennessee are reconsidering a piece of legislation from last year that has been nicknamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. If passed, it would prohibit teachers from discussing any sexuality other than heterosexuality with students with kindergarten through eighth grade.

 

 

More worrisome than this quasi gag order is a new provision, which would require school officials to contact parents if their child is gay. Students would still be able to discuss sexuality with counselors, nurses and principals, but these authorities would need to notify parents as soon as they thought the circumstances required “intervention.”

 

While the wording offers some leeway, we think the entire situation is troubling. What do you think?

There is NOTHING wrong with being gay or bi I don't know why girls on here
are like god doesn't like what your doing! um excuse me? God wouldn't want you judging people
I am for gay rights were NOT in 1902 anymore this 2013 my sister is a lesbian and has a really nice girlfriend and my moms brother who's my uncle is gay gay people are not sinners people that rape steal and murder are I'm serious it's disgusting how close minded people are
when I went to Dunkin Donuts with my sis and her GF this couple was starring at them
like they were from another planet god would be very upset if he heard people judging each other
and for people to say it's unhealthy is awful there's nothing wrong with it I'm serious I know people have there own believes but some things you should defiantly keep to your selfs
you girls do know there's les and bi users on here? how do you think they feel when they read comments like the ones your posting?

this is absolutely ridiculous. not letting kids talk about homosexuality or anything that isnt the sexual norm wont stop them from being lgbt, it will only make it harder and more confusing for them as they grow up unaware of what they might be and believing that being gay is wrong. if they turn out to be gay, queer, or trans they'll probably end up hating themselves. this wont help anyone. the only thing this will do is hurt people.

This law would only confuse kids more, not stop it. They will think that if you don't discuss it, its not okay, and thats not true. It is basically saying it's not okay to be gay when it is. everyone should have equal rights, and that includes gay people.

This is idiotic. I know that some people think that it's disgusting, but it's normal! some people are just like that. You can't control it. If some people say that it's against the Bible, think again! First, the bible says nothing explicitly against gayness. second, you also say that God created all, and that God doesn't make mistakes. Then, God created homosexuality, and it ISN'T a mistake. I know that it makes people uncomfortable to talk about it, and that's totally normal. It makes me uncomfortable sometimes, too. But being personally close to someone lesbian, I know that they're not messed up. They're normal people, just with a different point of view.
