The fact that these people value meanness and cruelty and bullying really tells you a lot about them. Never forget to rub that in their fascist faces.
There’s nothing a bully likes less than facing the consequences of their own actions. And because all bullies are cowards, it’s usually the best way to force them into retreat.
Sadly, the DNC has forgotten how to stand up to bullies because they got bought out by the friends of the bullies.
Friends of bullies are just a group of bullies.
Does it force staffers to out congressmen? I wonder how things would change if that were slipped into the bill?
Carruthers claims, however, that “there is no hidden agenda” and that this is about advocating for parental rights. She claims it is not “anti-LGBTQ” and that “nothing can be done these days without offending others.”
No, you’re right. It’s not a hidden agenda. It’s very open that you hate LGBTQ kids.
What parental rights are you advocating for here? I didn’t realize they couldn’t talk to their children in your state or that kids had to tell them every single thing about themselves! I’ve been parenting wrong I guess letting my kid have some privacy about things.
Does the school admin share their emails with the public? I have parent rights to know what they are talking about from an admin level that affects my child. I guess I also have citizenship rights to know what my tax dollars are doing. I mean, we care so much about everything being open, right? RIGHT?!
If you want to know if your kid is LGBTQ+, respect them as humans when they’re growing up and don’t be trans- homo- etc-phobic. They’ll tell you at some point.
If they don’t tell you, take a long hard look at yourself
I don’t think the problem people own mirrors.
So, every kid just needs to go to the school administration and say they are gay.
It’s about time we give Ohio to the yogurt.
It doesn’t sound shameful to me. Based on what i read in that article I totally support it.
You think children with LGBTQ+ parents should be forbidden to discuss their families in class? You think transgender teenagers should be forced to tell their parents even if it opens them up to abuse and homelessness? What good does this do, and for whom?
it isolates the child and only helps the abusers to be abusive.

kids should not lie to their parents
Said by someone whose parents aren’t abusive I presume.
Yeah no, welcome to the real world, there’s tons of fucked up parents out there that kids need to be protected from
Said by someone who was never a human teenager.
Everyone has lied to their parents. That’s just an unrealistic view of the world.
Or said by someone who is the abusive parent. The fact that they see nothing wrong with this law makes them sus.
Kids talk about their parents in school all the time. Teachers and counselors are trained to look for signs of abuse and work hand in hand with CPS. My mom was a middle school guidance counselor and did house calls all the time with CPS as well as helping kids get appointments with psychologists.
The largest population of homeless kids is LGBT kids thrown out of their homes. I have a friend who had his ribs broken at the age of 6 when his father threw him down a staircase. These are the kinds of people you are saying schools should be forced to out LGBT kids to. If kids aren’t out to their parents, not only is there probably a reason, but outing them is also a violation of their privacy and consent.
Tell me you don’t remember being a teenager without telling me you don’t remember. If you think kids shouldn’t lie to their parents, maybe you shouldn’t have yourself. Whether it was about smoking or drinking or just sneaking out to hang out with friends, I bet you lied all the time - everybody does. Now imagine if you had to hide something from the world for your own safety, and the government just said that if a teacher happens to hear that you have a boyfriend, they have to report that to your parents.
Also, you must be downing the Flavor-Aid if you think trans people are that easy to spot 100% of the time.

You’re really saying if you saw her on the street you’d think it was a dude?

Get the fuck outta here.
I have a transgender child, now adult, who told no one in the family until after high school because they didn’t know what was going on. It became increasingly clear to them and to us through their teens that something was amiss, but only came into clear focus for them relatively late. That sent them into a depression where they didn’t feel they could talk to anyone, including us. Only after a couple of crises, some therapy and treatment for the depression did they start taking steps to embrace their transition with the full support of their family. Even though they never faced any judgement from us, and have a lot of loving support, telling us was still difficult and scary for them. I can’t imagine how much harder it would be to go through all this with a judgemental or hostile family.
So I guess you think this is “completely ridiculous” and I don’t know what I’m talking about, but there is a lot teens don’t tell even the most sympathetic parents, and not necessarily because of a lack of trust but because some things need space to work through. I just get the impression you don’t have a lot of experience of parenting teenagers or, if you do, you don’t realize there’s a lot you don’t know, and that this is quite normal.
And I bet if being transgender was discussed in school, your kid could have figured out how to explain what was going on a lot faster and saved everyone a lot of pain.
This self discovery is what this bill is trying to stop. Cruelty is the point.

Would you rather children lie to their parents, or would you rather have those children be assaulted, abused, and potentially driven to suicide by those parents? Take your pick.
Fear mongering.

Like you would know.
The fact that you say that and have that attitude means you’ve never experienced true hardship. True loss.
It’s written all over you. You’re practically broadcasting it to everyone the harder you try to dig in.
People who have had hard lives, truely hard lives and faced unimaginably difficult challenges and loss, gain empathy for their fellow man, not lose it.
You’re just trying to cosplay as something everyone can very clearly see you’re not.
Consider yourself lucky, and while I don’t wish undue hardship on anyone, In your case, it might give you that perspective you’re trying so hard to convince everyone around you you’ve had.
Why don’t you get a helmet and Keep Yourself Safe?
From who, lol?
The fact that you have no one to fear, as opposed to queer kids with openly homophobic parents, perfectly illustrates your narrow views.
Oh cool. Do you discuss your sex life and masturbation habits with your parents? Cause, you know, parental rights. They should have a right to know as you’re still their kid.
Or do you just believe that complete control and domination of children is what we should have as a society until they reach that MAGIC age number?
That’s the dumbest shit lve ever heard. Do you really that ridiculous extremes make a point at all. You’re a fool.
Your posts are the dumbest shit I have read. Do you have a reason for being a controlling asshole or were you just born that way?
Children will get killed.
No they wont. Fear mongering.
It’s literally already happening:

You’re also welcome to read this scholarly article about how LGBT+ children face higher levels of violence from family members than cisgendered, heterosexual youth, but I doubt you will.
You support outing kids to abusive parents so they can be beaten and kicked out?
You’re a horrible person.
