Organizers hold 'Okay to Say Gay' rally in St. Pete

Any day now, Governor Ron DeSantis could sign the Parents Rights in Education Bill, also known by opponents as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill. Protesters in the St. Petersburg area wanted to send a clear message to legislators Saturday that they're not backing down.

Why would you want to teach kindergarten about sexuality that's the parents job that's kind of creepy

[terryritter]

Those people are just gonna ruin Saint Pete such a beautiful town and they’re making such a mess of it God help us

[johnglue]

Nice to see so many sheep will believe anything they are told. This bill is to stop teachers or administrators from teaching young children what they do not need.

[BarryAllen-xgpj]

Alphabet Soup activists totally misrepresenting this bill.

[kennethosborne]

They should have called it the stop child grooming bill.

[jesteravrgjoe]

Nothing in the bill says anything about not mentioning “don’t say gay”. The bill simply excludes education on sexuality.

[AlexandraSzewczyk]

Do these people not realize that parents don’t want their kids being taught about about things like straight sex either?

[loudemaria]

Tell me that they didn't read the bill without them saying that they didn't read the bill.

[KING-FU]

Typical misrepresentation of the FACTS. To call the bill by this baited “catchphrase” is disingenuous, if not pathetic.

[andrewbochicchio]

This should be called the anti grooming law. Maybe they'd be embarrassed and crawl back into their holes

Parents have the right to raise there kids the way they want.

5 to 9 year olds don't need to learn about adult topics!!

[ScottCleve]

I'd like to know who came up the person who came up with the title "Don't say Gay" because whomever did was pretty creative to come up with something so divisive out of something so harmless. That's a special kind of skill.

[manonamission]

Children cannot consent... neuroplasticity is real

[crazyflboy]

Sad Democrats feel a need to groom our children so bad .

[ngi_nr]

Dramatic and delusional. Lettem be kids.

[jeffbryan]

whew I was nervous for a minute there. I thought they were gonna cancel Drag Queen Storytime!

[BennyRuff]

If it isn't on the agenda for kindergarten and first through third grade then why is it a problem enforcing it.... Why do people think parents want others sexual orientation taught to their children that can barely make a proper sentence, let alone a coherent one.

[OromeVala]

It didn't work out so well for the military huh.

[carolynhoeck]

Why does anyone need to say gay, I never say it.

[darcymiller]

No school should be allowed to have this type of discussion with children. It is up to Parents not educators who have a AGENDA for this topic. LGBT has a issue with Sex education in classrooms because it is basically Heterosexual sex education but have no problem with this? Come on now realize what is happening and Leave children alone stop trying to grow your numbers with children.
