Stacey Campfield and Bill Dunn Don't Want To Hear The Word Gay

fp in Joy Land :::Hi Joy!:::, AKA the state of Tennessee, two lawmakers, Senator Stacey Campfield and Representative Bill Dunn, have introduced a bill in the state legislature that would ban schools from discussing any sexual orientation other than heterosexuality.

Bill Dunn

It's the Don't Say Gay bill.

Stacey Campfield


And these two wingnuts are serious.

The bill says, in part: “No public elementary or middle school shall provide any instruction or material that discusses sexual orientation other than heterosexuality.”

Yup, if they get there way, gay won't exist until you reach high school.


Ben Byers, of the Tennessee Equality Project:  “The Don’t Say Gay bill raises all kinds of issues about anti-gay bias, free speech and government overreach. It limits what teachers and students are able to discuss in the classroom. It means they can’t talk about gay issues or sexuality even with students who may be gay or have gay family.”

With all that's going on this country, from the economy, to the Wisconsin protests, to the crises in Egypt and Libya, and throughout the Middle East, with global warming, and environmental issues, unemployment, the cost of gas, this is all that these two ashats, Campfield and Dunn, can think to do?

With wingnuts like these two--and oh so many others--is it any wonder that the republican party is beginning to look like racists and homophobes and anti-middle class zealots?
