New version of 'Don't Say Gay' bill filed in Tenn.

A bill that proposes forcing schools to tell parents if their children have talked to a teacher or counselor about being gay has set the stage for a new fight over social issues in the Tennessee Legislature.

[Parent Rights]

Schools have NO BUSINESS telling kids that gay is "normal" when that violates Christian teachings.
Sex shouldn't be mentioned at school by teachers at all, that is child sexual abuse by pervert teachers.

[Remus]

If this bill will help protect children from being exposed to homosexual perversion then I'm all for it!

[African WMD]

So called gay rights are against children's rights. Something a gay could never produce. This nation is a disgrace.

Your mythology has not place in schools.

In most parts of the world, christianity isn't "normal". And you're wrong, it is absolutely normal; it just isn't as common as heterosexuality.

Talking about sex is not abuse unless it's coercive. Teachers presenting biological and psychological FACTS are doing the exact opposite of abuse.

A gay kid is a gay kid; we don't need to be "exposed" to anything because it's internal. I had never even heard of homosexuality before I realized that I was attracted to other boys. Many gays of my generation have similar stories.

What gay kids don't need is some a-hole at school informing their parents about their undeclared sexuality.

In this day and age, kids already know aboutg ays; we are out and open. Ignoring us or, worse, denigrating us in a forum where kids MUST attend does kids a disservice. Snitching to parents is both petty and dangerous--thousands of gay kids are abused or even thrown out of the house when parents find out they are gay.

BS. If you don't like it, leave. No one will mourn your exit.

All gays are good for is spreading AIDS.

It is a MENTAL ILLNESS and was considered that for centuries until they got political power.

I own rental property and ONLY RENT TO NORMAL, MARRIED CHRISTIAN couples!

Why must you lie? If you did that, you'd have lost the property to a lawsuit by now because you are not intelligent enough to avoid the laws that prevent such discrimination.

"Christian teachings" have NO PLACE in public schools, or did you forget what country you live in?

Before the Banking and Currency Committee, when the Federal Reserve bill was under discussion, Mr. Crozier, of Cincinnati, said:
In other words, the imperial power of elasticity of the public currency is wielded exclusively by these central corporations owned by the banks. This is a life and death power over all local banks and all business. It can be used to create or destroy prosperity, to ward off or cause stringencies and panics. By making money artificially scarce, interest rates throughout the country can be arbitrarily raised and the bank tax on all business and cost of living increased for the profit of the banks owning these regional central banks, and without the slightest benefit to the people. These twelve corporations together cover the whole country and monopolize and use for private gain every dollar of the public currency and all public revenue of the United States. Not a dollar can be put into circulation among the people by their Government without the consent of and on terms fixed by these twelve private money trusts.

Thank you Mr Crozier of Cincinnati

Nothing quite as brilliant as a bunch of uneducated christian hillbillies. Of course it's the same state where a guy got rid of his dog because he thought it was gay. Does anyone in Tennessee have an IQ over 40?

I'm all for a theory that queers even exist, simply ignore them. Maybe if I throw a stick they'll go away or at least back into their dark closet. Anyway, teachers need not waste precious time on presenting this sick subject to children. It appears that they're having a hard enough time with the 3 - R's. Besides, whoever learned about sex from a book? And I don't mean Playboy!

Sorry. We're not going ANYWHERE.
