‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill advances in the Tennessee Senate.

A bill that would prohibit teachers from discussing homosexuality in the classroom before the ninth grade has advanced in Tennessee’s Senate.

Sponsored by state Sen. Stacey Campfield (R), who unsuccessfully pushed the same measure for six years while serving in the House, the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill would make it illegal for educators to discuss any sexual behavior apart from heterosexuality with students in kindergarten up through the eighth grade.

  1. At least the bigots in Portland are hip and smart- just ask one, they’ll tell you!

    I’m not sure you could have written anything more hypocritical with your over-generalizing headline, but I have to give you credit for trying. It might have been better if you’d taken your frustration out on your usual Barney the Dinosaur Plushie/Pot Roast combo in the garage after your mother went to bed.

  2. @D: No one said everyone in TN was a stupid bigot, only that the state was full of them. That a stupid, bigoted bill passed in one of its elected representative bodies is evidence of that.

    It should also be pointed out that most bigots claim to be non-hating and have nothing against the people they discriminate against, and that most stupid people are, by definition, too stupid to realize it.
