GOP Representatives want to criminalize being gay in public

As always, they're using "but think of the children" to attack people for existing.

Edit: why is this listed as "mildly adult" despite me changing the rating to "family safe"?

@nudistsueaz Sorry you somehow can't read a bill submitted to the House and cosponsored by 32 additional representatives. But that doesn't make it fake.

@OggggO it's not a real bill. Sorry you don't know that.

@OggggO You should take your own advice and actually read the bill.

It's purpose is to:
"To prohibit the use of Federal funds to develop, implement, facilitate, or
fund any sexually-oriented program, event, or literature for children
under the age of 10, and for other purposes."

It doesn't criminalize anything. It doesn't even mention "gay" anywhere in the bill. @nudistsueaz is right. This post is total fake news.

@BizSuitStacy You should look at what the part of the bill that actually would become law says, not just the preface.

(1) SEXUALLY-ORIENTED MATERIAL.—The
17 term ‘‘sexually-oriented material’’ means any depic-
18 tion, description, or simulation of sexual activity,
19 any lewd or lascivious depiction or description of
20 human genitals, or any topic involving gender iden-
21 tity, gender dysphoria, transgenderism, sexual ori-
22 entation, or related subjects.

@OggggO Thanks for proving my point that you can't read. Show us the text where it criminalizes being gay in public. Where does it criminalize anything? It simply prohibits using federal funds to expose children to this crap. Or maybe you like the idea of exposing children 10 years old and under to this sort of thing?

@BizSuitStacy

1 (1) PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION.—A parent or
2 legal guardian of a child may bring a civil action for
3 injunctive relief in any Federal district court of ap-
4 propriate jurisdiction against a government official,
5 government agency, or private entity for a violation
6 of subsection (a) or subsection (b) by such an offi-
7 cial, agency, or entity if the child was—
8 (A) exposed to sexually-oriented material
9 funded in part or in whole by Federal funds;
10 and
11 (B) under the age of 10 at the time that
12 such exposure occurred.

You should note I didn't say this bill made it fully illegal to be gay in public, I said they wanted to do so. This is very clearly the first step.

Keep digging your hole, liar. It's almost deep enough to bury yourself.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@BizSuitStacy So, where in that screen shot did I say this was the law that made it illegal, because looking at it, it says exactly what I just said again: they want to make it illegal.

@OggggO Liar and back peddler. We went hrough this already dementia-boy. The bill's purpose is prohibit federal funds from being used to expose children 10 and under to sexually explict conent. The bill doesn't criminalize being gay in public.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@BizSuitStacy And I showed you already: it defines any mention of orientation as "sexually explicit".

BizSuitStacy · M

@OggggO And now you're filling the hole with dirt.

I keep asking where does the bill criminalize being gay in public. And you continue by not answering. The perfect democrat. We're done here.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@BizSuitStacy And I keep telling you, this bill isn't the bill that does it, it's the first step on the path. Do you or do you not understand how incrementalism works?

BizSuitStacy · M

@OggggO How's the dirt tasting, backpeddler?
