So there's not a current moment to ban books talking about LGBTQ people?

Gaslighting argument. The ban is to ban books in school talking about homosexual sex to kids, showing graphic content and things they do not need to know. You know the books grooming kids.

There's not a "don't say gay" bill in Florida?

Gaslighting argument. The Parental Rights in Education act doesn't say gay at all and is basically about point 1. You can try and change the terms all you like but it shows how much of a mouth piece you are by not understanding.

There's not people attacking trans kids and adults and making it illegal for them to get healthcare

People are being attacked by everyone, and that includes trans against the straights. And "healthcare" of becoming reliant on drugs should be illegal. Puberty blockers are incredibly dangerous and it's scary how much support there is trying to get a generation of underdeveloped adults there are.. almost like they wanted "legal kids"..

I was so worried about all those things.

Of course because you have to be a victim, even when you're the ones attacking and forcing these disgusting books, lessons and drugs on children you still want to play the victim.

This is exactly why people are against you.
