Don't know how to feel about this. I'm sure it's a bluff, but as a Disneyhater™ I would love to see Disney lose some of its power in Florida. I think that would be fucking hilarious. Kneecaping a massive corporation to own the libs.

What the fuck is the content of these media-named "don't say gay" laws? I'm not doubting they're evil but I want to know what the actual laws are
Conservatives state the law is to bar sexual education in grades K-3, except the language of the bill is to bar instruction on "sexual orientation and gender identity." You know that no supporters of the bill take issue with heterosexuality being pushed in schools, which is why critics of the bill have taken to calling it "Don't Say Gay." Also the bill is the vaguest shit ever, it's completely unclear what is meant by "instruction." Many LGBT teachers are unsure if they are allowed to even have pictures of themselves and their partner in a classroom.
The rest of the bill is just vague shit about parents having to be notified “if there is a change in the student's services or monitoring related to the student's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being and the school's ability to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for the student.” Just vague basic shit that should already be law - the school has to notify the parent of various health related things. The context of this bill and right-wing fearmongering about it make it clear though that this is so any change in the student's behavior - requesting to be referred to by different pronouns, using a new name, etc - have to be reported to the parent. Schools will no longer be a safe space for LGBT students since under this law schools will be sort of obligated to out students to parents who might not be accepting.
Of course all this is so vague that definitions and what the law actually mean will likely have to be decided in courts by precedent (if it actually gets that far since most of the conservative fears behind this bill are not actually real). There's a whole process in the law for dealing with complaints - there's like an investigation with costs having to be borne by the school district that has to happen before it goes to court. So schools will be burdened with extra costs and frivolous lawsuits while the actual meaning of the law is figured out (again, if the law is actually used since most conservative fears about gender in schools are completely divorced from reality - I think I read somewhere that that Virginia CRT law has never actually been used since its passed).
It will create a chilling affect, along with fear and uncertainty. The goal is spreading terror, i don't think evangelicals really believe in the law.
They don't. The only "law" they believe in is "god's law" and I'm putting quotes around that shit because their own theological understanding of their god is bullshit. It's self worship masquerading as Christianity. It's basically LaVeyan satanism but without the self awareness. That's why capitalist libertarianism is so attractive to these types.
I agree with you whole heartedly. The fuckers literally, unselfconsciously, entirely unironically worship Mammon. It's horrifying and I try not to think about it most of the time.

Insert clip from the movie '300' where the Spartan king Leonidas derides the Athenians as "boy lovers" despite Sparta having institutionalized pederasty.
Don’t talk about human sexuality with kids, unless you are parent or some shit
To be honest, I have no idea.
