Cool, if that were the case why does this bill specifically victimize lgbtq people?
Discussion of orientation is only age inappropriate because of bigots who consider discussion of straight relationships to be “normal” and so acceptable.
The stated intent in the bill’s preamble, is to target lgbtq kids. The stated intent of the law makers voting for it was to criminalize acknowledging lgbtq people are humans.
If the bill wanted to not be an obvious attempt to dehumanize lgbtq people it could have removed the discriminatory language: ban discussion of gender and relationships.
Ban those young kid faux-“home coming”s, etc
But that is not what this is about. The stated view of the Republican Party, and the Conservative movement in general, is that lgbtq people are not people. That their orientation or gender identity is wrong. That lgbtq people are inherently less deserving of human rights, and that acknowledging there existence is inherently a matter of “adult” sexual perversions.
