BREAKING: The sponsor of the "Don't Say Gay" bill in the Florida House,
@josephbharding
, just introduced an amendment that would REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO OUT LGBTQ STUDENTS even if the school believes THE DISCLOSURE WILL RESULT IN "ABUSE, ABANDONMENT, OR NEGLECT"

If young LGBTQI people do not already have a storm of horror thrown at them by society it they grow up in the wrong red place...

[RANDYWILDMAN]

1. so freakin toxic

Yeah, the gay kids are messing up the schools. not the toxic hyper masculine bullies

[Biophilic]

2. Yeah, the cruelty is the point. It has nothing to do with education,

it has everything to do with just simply being cruel, evil people.

[Demovictory9]

32. cruelty and attracting support from Trump voters

[Walleye]

3. The cruelty is the point. Especially if they find a vulnerable minority

The Republicans are turning into everything we were brought up not to be

[GoCubsGo]

4. It's not just LGBTQ kids that are going to suffer from this.

How many straight kids are going to be "outed" for malicious reasons? This kind of bullshit could easily turn into a modern day version of the Salem witch trials. It's fucking heinous.

[abqtommy]

5. It helps to be very clear when messaging certain persons and groups. Tell them

"It's 2022 AD, not 2022 BC"!

[vercetti2021]

6. Nothing says protect the children

Like making sure that LGBTQ kids are going to be killed or kill themselves

[brer cat]

7. What vile people.

I hope they implode on their own efforts to outdo each other in their cruelty.

[Rebl2]

8. These people

are evil and sick.

[Deuxcents]

9. This is a disaster waiting to happen

I want to know where the lawyers are. Where are the parents, students, educators and decent people? I’m willing to do my part, too. Why so much hate?

[Runningdawg]

10. The only way for the evangelical's kids NOT to be outed

is homeschool and to marry and breed very young. Oh wait....

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. Pretty sure that's NOT what it actually says there, Judd

[leftieNanner]

14. I read it the way you did

Educators can withhold the info if it would result in abuse etc

Still a BS law.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

16. Then we're in consensus ma'am :) (nt)

[crud]

22. I think the schools have 6 weeks to decide

how to out the child to an abusive family.

[AllyCat]

28. And what if the educators support this cruelty?

[leftieNanner]

29. It's so terrible

I don't even know how to respond to what you said. Because you are 100% correct. We all hope that teachers have their students' best interests at heart, but that is not always the case.

[Sympthsical]

23. What are you seeing there that I am not?

Genuine question.

The text on the left says it can be withheld. But the text on the right appears to say that a disclosure must be made with the parent within six weeks.

If it is not saying there must be disclosure to the parent, then what is that six weeks referring to?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

31. My take is that it actually only says a plan must be developed ...

Not actually saying that the information must be disclosed.

Seems like obvious grandstanding to me by this asshat RePuQ, but doesn't actually 'require' any disclosures.

If I have it wrong here, my apologies. Fortunately I doubt this BS amendment will actually be passed, and even if it is, it will be struck down.

[FM123]

12. There are not even enough words to describe how evil this is!

I am so sad and scared for these kids.

[multigraincracker]

13. What about kids getting kicked out who's parents are divorced?

It's right there in the Bible.

[SergeStorms]

15. Floriduh. Governor DeSatan.

That's it. Nothing else to say.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. Cruelty by GOP has no end. They are the party of Hate and abuse.

The lawsuits out of this amendment will be stunning.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. They want to kill everyone who is not like them. Remember Nazi "racial purity?"

It's about more than just race, it's about race, sexual orientation, the poor (income), gender, religion, & more.

It's disgusting.

[Scalded Nun]

20. This is a part of a larger overall recruiting effort by the right using their 'lab' in Florida.

You have 2 streams of applicants flowing:

1. Applicants for leadership positions to assist in formulating and finalizing policy.
2. Applicants that will actually carry out that policy. The 'worker' bees, the camp guards (think Auschwitz).

The right will continue pushing things further and further in efforts to see just where the line is that their followers will not cross. My guess is that they still have a lot of room to work with. This evil we see has not yet revealed its complete self.

[Wounded Bear]

21. Replace "even if" with "especially if" and it would be more accurate...nt

[NBachers]

24. They won't stop 'till they've set up rape camps, throat slashing pens, boxcars, and gas chambers.

[ificandream]

25. These are sick human beings.

[calimary]

26. The cruelty just seems to be never-ending.

[IronLionZion]

27. It's time to make hateful bigots the minority

since if you add up all the various minority groups, there are probably more of us if we stuck together. I don't want to abuse bigots, I just want bigots to fear they might get treated the same way they treat minorities.

[packman]

30. Next -girls required to wear a scarlet "V" or "NoV"

as in Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter - Seems like some Fascist European dictator branded people with this sort of thing a few decades back.

[Demsrule86]

33. Yeah, that is who they are. This is why I am furious when I hear some who must be 'excited'

in order to vote...we are dealing with monsters here. Get out and vote or reap the consequences...and they will be awful.

[PittBlue]

34. This is so incredibly horrifying.

[spanone]

35. goddamn these 'people'
