While I don’t think this will go anywhere soon, this is more than grand standing for attention.  He is a true believer in removing those non-cis non-straight people from society.  He believes in making the US a Christian theocracy.  Again remember how this started, both here and in Russia.  Save the little kids, you know babies to 3rd grade which in the US is normally until kids would be 9 years old going into 4th grade.  Don’t confuse kids who were not confused at all by gender or that there were LGBTQIA people, they were not confused by gay people who loved each other.  They made the law so vague teachers had to hide being gay and their families, and remove rainbow stickers along with anti-bullying posters.  Then it worked, people bought it so they moved it to up to grade 12 because we wouldn’t want to confuse 18 year olds about gender or sexual orientation, would we?   After all, young adults don’t need to see or hear that stuff in the brave new world of only straight cis people with strict gender rules of the 1950s and forced Christian bible slogans in every classroom.  Do they, after all no mention of the gays or trans equals no gays or trans people right?   Oh shit, they still exist in work places, adults have to be exposed to that confusion as well.  Oh shit, we should not confuse adults about sexual orientation or gender just like we don’t want to confuse kids were not confused, especially little kids who openly accepted their peers once until adults told them that it was wrong to accept people who were different.   So let’s do what we did with companies that encouraged diversity which really is just mixing the races, letting black / brown people have equal work / schooling opportunities.   We will make it illegal!  Nope, no LGBTQIA and no diversity allowed in private or state businesses.  There now we have a nice white straight cis state with nice white straight cis businesses and majority white straight cis schools.   Oops, forgot one detail.  Got to keep forcing that good old Jesus on everyone.  So now not just schools will have to display in god we trust and the then commandments, stores, business, state agencies, everywhere will.   And we will have a local church tax for every district to support the Christian churches only.   The rest you can donate if you want on your own time, Christianity is the state religion now in Florida, and soon other red states.

This is the world these people want, that they are driven to create for their god.  Right or wrong they really believe the lies they were told about the US being founded as a special place for Christians and only Christians, that god will be angry until it is “again” a Christian nation that follows the “bible” way of life?  I guess that means slaves and the right of a man to fuck everything while owning his wives, concubines … whatever.   Sorry but they won’t accept half measures as you see, they take that offering of meeting half way and then demand the rest.   For those that say the fight for trans stuff is too much, just give them that, do you see how wrong you are now?  They took it, ran with it, then went after the rest of the people who are different.  They simply do not want to live in a world with others not like them in it.  Period.  If you want to live in the modern age with acceptance and tolerance for all, we must defeat these people.    Hugs.   Scottie

The Washington Blade reports:

A new bill just introduced in Florida aims to expand “Don’t Say Gay Or Trans” provisions to a broad range of workplaces. Targeting government employees, contractors, and nonprofits, the bill sets forth restrictions and bans on policies relating to pronouns, gender identity, and sexuality.

Specifically, it would prohibit state and local government employees as well as any contractors engaged with the government from changing their pronouns or honorifics if they do not match their assigned sex at birth.

It would also bar them from instructing on gender identity or sexuality, similar to “Don’t Say Gay Or Trans” laws already active in the state education system. The legislation would establish “biological” pronouns as official state policy.

Florida Politics reports:

What raised the loudest alarms among critics was a provision that appears to restrict any organization specifically serving LGBTQ individuals from receiving any state dollars. “It is an unlawful employment practice for a nonprofit organization or an employer who receives funding from the state to require, as a condition of employment, any training, instruction, or other activity on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression,” the bill reads.

The legislation is the second bill filed by Rep. Ryan Chamberlin, who was elected to the House in a Special Election in May. The House District 24 seat notably opened after former state Rep. Joe Harding, an Ocala Republican, resigned facing federal charges of wire fraud and money laundering. Harding authored a parental rights in education bill passed in 2022, the bill originally derided as the “don’t say gay bill.”

Chamberlin belongs to a Pentecostal church and launched a failed bid for the US House in 2020, finishing sixth in the GOP primary. His predecessor, Joe “Don’t Say Gay” Harding, is expected to begin on five month federal prison sentence on COVID fraud charges in January.
