Indiana legislature to move forward with "Don't Say Gay" bill.


?s=20



ACLU of Indiana
@ACLUIndiana
BREAKING: Indiana legislators are moving forward with a horrific bill modeled off Florida's infamous "Don't Say Gay" law.

HB 1608 would censor or even ban discussion or acknowledgment of LGBTQ people in schools.

We need you at the Statehouse with us on Monday to stop this bill.

Seems to me that discussion/acknowledgment of heterosexual people would be banned as well. Freethinker65 Feb 2023 #1

One cannot constitutionally single out and discriminate against everyone except heterosexuals.

So no discussing families nor personal relationships. Good luck with that.

in a former democracy, that was transformed into a fascist authoritarian wasteland? Where fear and intimidation are used as weapons to control what can and cannot be taught, said, thought? Maddening!
