@thekarami Yeah, I’m 34 and that’s fair as far as staff goes since they’re probably our age too by now. But my point was less about those exact examples and more that pretending LGBTQ people don’t exist when talking to kids goes way beyond “don’t give them sex ed or gender studies classes" — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

@thekarami just saying, these things are already “discussed” with small kids. it’s only considered a problem by some people when positioned through a non-normative lens. — PolitiTweet.org

@thekarami - “that toy is for girls, not boys” - “families have a daddy and a mommy” - “the princess wears a dress or pants, the prince only wears pants” - “i bet you have a boyfriend” - “snow white woke up with a kiss from the prince” — PolitiTweet.org

@swordsjew this is a very good win, good job doing the thing — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, that’s the kind of her person who wants her “parental rights" restored and actively supported the Don’t Say Gay bill throughout the process, because she’s mad her child's feelings were acknowledged over hers. (7/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

and that’s really what this lawsuit is! it says “my child was confused and their school actively encouraged her to be nonbinary and didn’t listen to us when we said ‘no she isn’t,’ making this phase worse and making it so SHE doesn’t trust us" — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

“quarantine and/or other kids coming out made my kid start to go through a queer phase” is just not how I, personally, would process this or frame it to my kid’s school https://t.co/3EwU3NtRml — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

(The fact that, as per the lawsuit, she also took the very "Gay/Trans is contagious argument" that their kid is just following their friends was also clearly a baseline assumption in this bill’s framing and drafting) (4/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Which is exactly the situation that has schools working with LGBTQ kids directly! It highlights that even though the GOP says the bill is about “protecting K-3 kids” and insuring “age appropriate” material is taught, it’s also about denying LGBTQ kids safe spaces (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

But as the lawsuit itself says, the kid had talked to their parents about being nonbinary. To which Mrs. Littlejohn and her husband basically said, “no, you are not allowed to be nonbinary,” at which point the school continued to work with the kid (2/3) https://t.co/nRpQNxyWOR https://t.co/duuxDbf2pK — PolitiTweet.org

A mom named Janaury Littlejohn spoke in support of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill today. She’s sued her child’s school district for creating a “gender nonconforming support plan” for her kid without parental consent. (1/3) https://t.co/50RBEIhMYn — PolitiTweet.org
