Florida’s vile ‘groomer’ law may soon blow up in DeSantis’s face

[Somerville]

Are you saying you do not agree with the title of the article you posted?

Of course I agree with it, my response was to your comment #98 which failed to provide the appropriate mention. Now that you are called out, you tell the readers - "Oh, I meant the story in the OP." Shoulda done that in #98

Of course you do.
Which is why posting an article with such a headline shows you are confused, as stated.
What is really funny was that you think the law says they can't say gay when it doesn't say that at all. Of course you are confused.

It is not confusing for children to have a male daddy, and a female mommy..... just as normal is.

Tell that to DeSantis. He says it is "grooming".

 

[iguanaman]

Of course you do.

Then why are books that show same sex parents being banned? Isn't that banning gay?

Seriously? Are you really unable to make a valid and rational argument?

No where does the legislation ban the word "gay".

It bans books that depict gay people. Are you saying that is different? This is Fahrenheit 451 plain and simple.

When it doesn't ban the word "gay" as claimed? That is absolutely different.

It's worse than that. It bans the CONCEPT of gay from all curriculum. What are the children of gay parents going to think about that? Did you even think about that?

Prove it.

Lawyers can always find a way to play with a law in ways that seemingly contradict the intentions of those who wrote the law and those who support it. Passing a law that restricts the free speech rights of a citizen must be vague enough in its wordings that the restrictions don't apply to any individual or group and instead affects everyone. No matter how conservative or oppressive a legislature may be, they must follow the Constitution - Florida could not pass a law that tells teachers they Can't Say Gay. Funny how the vagueness of the phrases may used against the intentions of the formulators.

One of the more interesting things that one learns in the military is how to really screw things up by actually following the actual words of the actual rules and regulations.

The trick is to know ALL the rules and to use the ones that you want to use to accomplish your goal.

Not knowing what ANY of the rules are is a sure-fire way of getting screwed MUCH more frequently than you succeed.

Basic historical ignorance is paramount to the rightist agenda. The right's belief that a "family" can only be a female and male partnership is only a couple of centuries old in Western societies.

Sorry, but no. It's as old as human history. It's how you were conceived and born.

It's how every single person on this planet arrived here.

 

[Phys251]

Very telling that the leftists are shitting themselves over the laws PREVENTING the piece of shit pedo groomers.

Your hate speech has no basis in reality, as usual.

 

[Patriotic Voter]

There is no "Don't say Gay Law" so I guess the law students just get a free period.

What else do you call the law that was titled "Don't Say Gay" and signed as such by my evil governor? It has always been known as the "Don't Say Gay" law from the beginning.

 

[Patriotic Voter]

No, but there is a Constitutional right that prevents the government from retaliating against private entities because of their political speech.

Specifically speech or are you mixing it up with the press? The words are not interchangeable.

For all intents and purposes, they kinda are interchangeable.

Someone lied to you; It wasn't titled "Don't Say Gay".
