KY GOP hard at work on crucial issues, like other people's sex lives - Opinion

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ky-gop-hard-crucial-issues-135231826.html


For those of you who are concerned about what Senate President Robert Stivers calls Gov. Andy Beshear’s “ultra-liberal, woke” agenda for Kentucky, fear not. Stivers is on it. The Kentucky legislature is ready to tackle the biggest kitchen table, bread and butter issue that has been plaguing ordinary American families for years: other people’s sex lives. While Democrats have wasted their time on such non-problems such as our crumbling infrastructure, global warming, underfunded education, and inadequate health care, Republicans have been studying Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill. In case you haven’t heard, this bill protects students in grades 1-3 from learning about what lawmakers call “the gay lifestyle,” a charmingly anachronistic term now that gay people are serving in the military, appearing regularly on TV, marrying, and playing professional football. But young children are too innocent to be exposed to such distressing material, even those with gay parents. Or maybe there are no gay parents in Florida or Kentucky until kids reach fourth grade, when some cataclysm turns some straight parents gay. Maybe it’s the dioramas. Look for an anti-diorama bill in the near future. (Throw in science projects, and it’s a sure winner.)
