"Don't say gay" bill moves forward in Tennessee
Tennessee’s controversial “don’t say gay” bill banning discussions of homosexuality in the classroom was approved in the state House of Representatives yesterday.
The measure now goes to the House Education Committee, where it could be addressed as early as next week. Dozens of students showed up at the hearing on Wednesday to protest, so many that the subcommittee had to relocate.
“To me, they’re sending a message that in society gay people aren’t really equal,” said Thomas Kibby, a Hume-Fogg student. “This law would be kind of moving backwards.”
The arguments in favor of this legislation, in the article above, are a little bit nauseating. I really hope this thing dies.

LGBT youth/allies need to be exposed to LGBT history and discussion to give them hope and non-allies need that exposure to begin the process of realizing LGBT people exist and that they can be a positive force in society. Bans like this horrify me…
