BREAKING: “Don’t Say Gay” Passes the Tennessee Senate

As expected, lawmakers have passed the bill that would make it illegal to talk about gays in Tennessee schools. Or, as George would have us say, “to talk about Takeis.”

There was just one minor tweak before they passed it: now, it only applies to K-8.

So, the very thin silver lining is that at least it won’t apply to high schoolers.

Because to discuss Ellen DeGeneres and Tchaikovsky with anyone who has not yet reached 9th grade is to put them in mortal danger.
