Tennessee’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill Would Bar Teachers From Discussing Everywhere A Penis Can Be Inserted
A proposed bill in Tennessee would permit public school teachers to only speak of heterosexuality to students. HB229 and SB49 read: “No public elementary or middle school shall provide any instruction or material that discusses sexual orientation other than heterosexuality.” Wait until high school to say the word “gay.”
Wouldn’t this law prevent schools from teaching kids to avoid pedophiles?

This is so effed up. Wait till high school to say gay? WTF? What about all the gay kids struggling that offed themselves? The youngest was 13. Last I checked, that’s 7th/8th grade. Are the gay kids supposed to be made to feel even more invisible than they already do? This makes my fucking blood boil.

This bill will probably be tabled, but bills like this even being proposed and created show just how absolutely hateful some people are against us. And how some people are willing to go OUT OF THEIR WAY to essentially hide and deny our basic existences.

And Tennessee once had a law banning the teaching of evolution …

Tennessee never was the brightest of the bunch, I’m afraid.

Tennessee ranks consistently in the bottom 10 states academically. Looks like we shooting for the very bottom.

in Tennessee the most common places to insert a penis are: 1) a woman; 2) a farm animal; 3) the Baptist preacher’s mouth at the truck stop glory hole.

@D. Smith – Thanks, that was my point exactly – true pedophiles are fixated on children only. But even lessons on protecting oneself from dangerous strangers 9who could be pedophile or just f*cked-up married men – they’re rarely gay) requires one to at least acknowledge that sex between two male individuals is a possibility, and that would seem to be a violation of the law as well.

What if your Congressman is gay? What if your state passed marriage-equality yesterday? I mean at some point gay topics become current events, even if you don’t approve. I always think its weird that a school would act like a certain topic doesn’t exist.

@justiceontherocks: I think you got the order mixed up there, Justice.

Tennessee already lost this argument when the law preventing teachers from teaching the Theory of Evolution was found to be an unconstitutional limitation of a teachers freedom of speech.

“other than heterosexuality”
And that’s where it goes from dickish to unconstitutional. I hope this passes so some gay family can sue, get the law repealed, and take a bunch of the state’s money while they’re at it. Tennessee would probably just use that money to illegally fund more churches anyway.
