Tennessee's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill
http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2011/apr/2 ... ate-panel/
This bill got past the Senate on April 21st...
Personally, I think that this bill would violate the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution -- Or am I wrong?

Not to mention it's bigoted, disgusting, harmful...

All I can really do is shake my head. Any more these days I am not at all surprised. Personally I think this is ridiculous but things just seem to be going down the extreme path lately.

Are the legislators so bored with the current issues that they have to pursue pointless topics?

Re: Tennessee's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill
It's not only wrong because it's homophobic, it's also wrong because it seems to me like they want to keep children in the dark.
And you are right, it is a violation I think. "Freedom of speech" nothing wrong with teaching kids about homosexuality. Can you give me one reason why?!?!?! Even if I were homophobic, I still wouldn't understand this!!!! Right or wrong aside, homosexuality is something that we should all be aware of, because there are homosexuals out there!!!!

Gay is a common English word. Now let's get the black texmarker, get the Merriam Webster and start eradicating all those bad, bad words.
Gay! Ooops.

Re: Tennessee's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill
I see what you did but... Was it really necessary to call a marker that was probably made in China; African American? Now that's just a rude thing to do :/chex wrote:I fixed it for you.bella wrote:Gay is a common English word.

What, you mean it's wrong to automatically assume something I haven't seen is from America? Pardon my ethnocentrism.

Re: Tennessee's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill
Yeah chex, what you should have said was the non white caucasian marker pen from the glorious peoples republic of china
Anyways, they should probably do something a bit more useful and pass a "don't say -hey do you wanna screw? - to your own sister" bill
