2811503_431 Seriously? Tenn. Senate OKs 'don't say gay' bill:

A bill passed Friday by the Tennessee Senate would forbid public-school teachers and students in grades kindergarten through 8 from discussing the fact that some people are gay.

Opponents deride the measure as the "don't say gay" bill. They say it's unfair to the children of gay parents and could lead to more bullying.

The bill isn't likely to be taken up by the House before lawmakers adjourn this spring, but the sponsor there has said he would push it forward in 2012 when the General Assembly comes back for the second year of the session.

Passage would make Tennessee the first state to enact such legislation, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Mr. Sulu has beamed in to suggest an alternative to the word "gay" that certain Tennesseans want to ban. George Takei Takes on Tennessee's Don't Say Gay Bill:

Out actor, entertainer and LGBT rights campaigner George Takei has released a YouTube video on Tennessee's "Don't Say Gay" bill, legislation awaiting a floor vote in the state senate that would outlaw mention of sexuality other than heterosexual marriage in K-8 schools. Takei has an alternative solution to this problem. Don't say gay, say Takei!

  1. Yes, Thane.”We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” Declaration of Independence.
    First of all, I asked Scoop the question, so unless you’re Scoop, as well, you need not answer for him/her.Ask people in those states if they got what they think they voted FOR. Bet not.Additionally,laws of the land (federal law) trumps state law everytime.If Scoop is a guy,talking about the “evils” of Roe v Wade…then I have other issues!Certain issues are left to the states to be sure, but when certain ideology drives the agenda off a cliff and does not address the immediate needs of the people, then it is nothing more than a power grab for wackos pushing their extreme views on the rest of the population.Yes, I’m talking about Roe.Where’s the jobs???
    Let Scoop answer the question.Don’t be a helicopter parent.By the way,the “and are established to protect and maintain individual rights…” ain’t happening now, is it?That’s the part they always get wrong,unless of course, you think just like THEY DO!Hypocracy at it’s finest.What states rights says to me is a bunch of little kingdoms…run by crazies pushing their fringe agendas.Just like we have now.

  2. Arizona Constitution article 2 section 2: All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.

  3. Just curious.Can you tell me what role the govt has, if any, in the lives of Americans?
