This is in the exact same vein as the separation of children from their parents at the boarder. It’s nothing more than spiteful hatred designed to hurt people the Maga crowd loath.
And what happened to small government too?
Any of you conservatives out there want to try and justify this? Come on, speak up in the comments…you scumbags.
Whiskeyjelly
Call FLA congressmen every day to report gays. Oscar Wilde, Liberace, Rock Hudson. Or ask when they will be coming out.
unluckyandbored
A lot of LGBT+ kids are gonna end up dead because of this.
TexMexHex
They want you to have the babies so they can torture them the rest of their lives.
Fasrielyn
As someone that was conservative until 2014, this shit is the reason I changed my mind so much. It is so despicable.
Silverwingedfluff
Ite seems "small government" only applies to companies and straight, white, Christians filled with xenophobia.
whitebbwolf
u smell something burning?
NotThatPrivate
Conservatives want small *federal* government. That way the states can dictate everything you do without interruption
dontrike
How much abuse? Sadly, all of the abuse.
ElusiveThing
And I doubt we'll be getting accurate numbers any time soon. Terrifying.
frankierizzo0351
The america I learned about as I was growing up wouldn't have put up with the shit america is pulling today, too bad that america was a lie.
PolitiCat
The people behind this bill don't consider LGBTQ+ people as humans, just like they don't see non-whites as equal... sue them for hate crimes
notyetadaddy
Honestly, I am so grateful for Gen Z. These kids are fighters and so clever. They’re going to tear this whole thing down and I can’t wait
IntMainVoid
I'm curious to see what happens when a single kid reports to a compliant teacher everyday that everyone in the school is LGBTQ+.
Tomadzo
You’re mistaken. Cruelty is a feature. And they are proud to be scum. *believe they’re endorsed by God.
BootsDusty
The trauma has already begun as LGBTQ+ youth see their identities up for debate. Hiding your identity takes it toll.
azzabat
You’re surprised? America was founded by people fleeing other countries because they weren’t allowed to persecute people at will anymore
Nalianna
Like all child abuse problems, it'll be solved with guns. Your country is awful.
bladderinfection
Now I am NOT saying it would totally awesome to flood the system with false LGBTQ reports against highly religious staff members. Not said.
Technotoad64
Would that work?
SimpDaddyDee
It's republicans' whole selling point to their base - that they'll actively hurt people their base dislikes.
CheekyNameHere
How much will it *cause*
NVGoddesscottage
And again, unless you see it with your own eyes, you don’t know. Guess how many “effeminate” boys and “butch” girls who are straight are f2
Potatokil1er
Working as intended…
Rascael
It forces people back in the closet... the exact purpose of the bill...
Ninjainslippers
The only logic I can see is they think you can choose your sexuality so this will make fewer gays. Republican logic.
Beardologist
Alt logic. "Them" vs "Us". Progressively marginalise small groups until Fascist adjacent numbers are large enough to get "majority"
INeverReadTheTOS
That's literally on purpose. Republicans WANT LGBTQ people to suffer.
onecowboytoo
So they are all poor? /s
TheWombatStrikesAgain
If they don't make them suffer, Jesus might think they hate him and abandoned him for Satan. /s
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
welll..... they WANT them to not exist. a close second is for them to suffer.
onecowboytoo
Like the poor?
Lavvia
No, they want to hate a group to blame their insecurities, they would just find someone else to target
AnBhrianach
It's not a close second. Suffering leads to suicide. And their rhetoric leads to physical violence against us.
AnBhrianach
They want a queer genocide without getting their hands dirty.
puzzledJack
I agree. And it's spelled loathe, loath is a different word
Orzufancylad
The cruelty is the point.

Hey now, I don't look up where you get all of the things you say and post them!

All in the name of jeebus
Irishda
It's not in the name of Jesus. That's just the skin they wear to make themselves feel better
CallThisAUsername
Jeebus is but the straw man. They're simply out to set themselves and their ilk as above all others.
sqabbit
It's why people need to fucking vote, how many instances do people need?
Copperbrat
gypsyspot
it needs to directly affect them, empathy isn't enough for most people to slightly inconvenience themselves
ArkoneAxon
What they need is a choice other than "actual hatemonger versus corrupt sociopath."
bourbonandbaddecisions
Or kids could just start outing all the school board members and make them prove they aren’t gay.
CelticmoonKate
Proof of sleeping with the opposite sex is not enough. They must publically have sex with the same sex and show no signs of enjoying it.
BootsDusty
Zahnradfee
That's probably exactly what they want to happen.
onlyhalfghost
telling him this doesn't matter, because the suffering is the point, for him and everyone who voted for him
cpcgamer
Not just the LGBT kids though. You can just SAY things and they will stick.
Orzufancylad
Right, how would a school PROVE that a child is LGBT? If they hear something from ANY student, they have to report it to parents. So get>
Orzufancylad
ready for every bully in Florida to start telling teachers the kid they don't like is LGBT!
DotcoreJetkill
Until it backfires and suddenly every bully in Florida is allegedly gay
Orzufancylad
Meh, the bullies I knew in HS didn't have the most attentive and caring parents.
onlyhalfghost
and how many of their parents would have been waiting at the door with a belt if the school called to tell them Timmy was gay?
kookyabird
I bet the amount of bullies with super dumb and homophobic parents who would both believe the false report and punish the child is non-zero.
Flortzweich
Unpopular opinion (with church-goers): "we" (christians) should not expect or demand people who do not follow our beliefs to live like we
Flortzweich
think they should or how we want to live... They are "lost" and don't have the same "awakening" of whatever the hell "God" is. I forget
Flortzweich
The point I'm trying to make so I'll just end with: fuck off religious twatwaffles, you don't get to dictate morality to others.
Marwick42
"I believe this, so I can't do that". That's fine. "I believe this, so You can't do that". See, now we have a problem.
jmartkdr
John Calvin disagrees.

What if it's "I believe there are two genders, so I can't acknowledge your 3rd.." or something along those lines. Not saying there's an easy
milchig
Answer, but do we need to just let some people live with their beliefs? The pain it causes for the person B in that situation is real 2/3
milchig
But can you force someone to change their beliefs? Easy answer if it winds up affecting you (like in laws) but just a matter of discourse?
