No it doesn’t. What it does is what you actually cited: > prohibits instruction "in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards" I think it’s telling that you made up a fantasy about “kids with gay parents can’t draw their family!” rather than the actual content — which I cited. This is what I mean by conflating gay rights with inappropriate conduct with children.

Yes and laws against “sodomy” weren’t meant to target gay people. Do you really think parents would use the law to target a man talking about being married to a woman and not a man married to a man.

  Let’s save our outrage for things that actually happen. But yes — I think many parents would be uncomfortable taking children to burlesque shows, rather than drag shows. And similarly uncomfortable with a heterosexual teacher who discussed their sexuality in the way that this prohibits. We don’t teach young kids about sexuality or gender identity at a young age, regardless. That’s not the job of school teachers.

    These same people would never object to a teacher talking about a “normal” heterosexual couple. They don’t just object to teachers talking about their sexuality. They object to admitting that gay people exists - ie a man saying “I went to the movies with my husband”.

    You are dramatically narrowing, in your description, what the law actually broadly prohibits. It isn't about burlesque shows or about a teacher discussing sex with a young student. The text of (this portion) of the law is: > 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 says very clearly that a instruction about gender identity MAY NOT OCCUR before grade 4 - and after that must occur in accordance with state standards and to a vague standard of "appropriateness".

It does, actually. A teacher can't lead a discussion of gender identity for young children, making a discussion of this family illegal under the law.
