LGBTQ staff at Disney staged a protest earlier this month in response to what they thought to be an inadequate condemnation of the Florida invoice, which prohibits classroom instruction – not informal dialogue – on “sexual orientation” and “gender identification” with youngsters in third grade or youthful, “or in a way that isn’t age-appropriate or developmentally acceptable for college kids in accordance with state requirements.”

Regardless of critics branding it a “Do not Say Homosexual” invoice, H.B. 1557 doesn’t ban the phrase “homosexual” at school settings. Neither does it ban informal discussions of matters regarding sexual orientation and gender identification within the classroom. It doesn’t require colleges to inform dad and mom if their little one identifies as homosexual or transgender.
