Well, I think it should be vetoed. I'm glad to see you agree. I thought this might be considered as "mere crumbs" and "not real important" like all of the pro-GLBT legislation signed by the Governor last September.

That will only happen if he signs it.

I don't believe it's "promoting an agenda"

You don't believe establishing "sexual orientation" as a civil right is agenda driven? Not a surprise since you also think homosexual marriage is not a "special right" but a civil right" and homosexuals are just the "new scapegoat for moral decline of a nation-state."

The whole movement to protect "gay" kids from harrassment is to promote the normalization of homosexuality.

I'm not belitting (?) anyone for not using a dictionary. I'm just pointing out that feminists and homosexual activists started the idiocy of using "gender" for male/female instead of "sex", and they did it for a reason. An insidious reason.

"I'm not belittling (?) anyone for not using a dictionary."

I was referring to the article, not you personally.

"I'm just pointing out that feminists and homosexual activists started the idiocy of using "gender" for male/female instead of "sex""

And my point was that this is the correct usage to the words. Words mean things and that is the meaning of those words. It was not feminists and homosexual activists who wrote those definitions, it was anthropologists.

There are lots of words who's meanings I do not like. Take cannibalism for instance, I hate cannibalism, with the exception of Jeffery Dahmer and that German guy, few people have a positive opinion of it, but we still need a word to use when talking about it.

The fact that these words were being used correctly was put forth as a boogyman in the article made me reflexively recoil from everything else it had to say. Trying to change the dictionary to meet someones opinion of correct newspeak ranks up there with ebonics in my book.

In the end I read the bill and made my own judgment. Although our reasons are different, our conclusion in regards to the bill are the same, it should fail.

I'm just curious- the text of the law says that there cannot be any discriminatory lessons. I'm just a tad befuddled, simply because it seems to want to make sure schools are neutral on the issue (or that's what the intent seems to be). I'd just like to understand how neutrality=encouraging homosexual behavior.
