MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Oklahoma’s “Patriotism Not Pride Act,” introduced by Republican state Rep. Kevin West, would prohibit state agencies from using public funds to “develop, organize, administer, engage in, promote, or endorse any activity, including any event, initiative, official communication, social media post, educational program, or public campaign, that aims to promote or recognize Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Pride Month or any event with a similar theme.”
So far this year, lawmakers in at least two other states — Florida and Tennessee — introduced bills that would ban rainbow Pride flags in schools.
Florida’s bill would also prohibit government employees, including lawmakers, from displaying rainbow flags.
You can’t ban us or disappear us, and it’s a shame that Rep. Kevin West is continuing his obsessive focus on targeting and isolating 2SLGBTQ+ Oklahomans with [this] latest attack.
LGBTQ Pride Month was first recognized in June 1970, to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York City, which is widely credited as a turning point in the modern gay rights movement.
The Pride flag, which was introduced at the 1978 Gay Freedom Day march in San Francisco, has increasingly been the target of criticism and vandalism over the past two years.
The original article contains 554 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I love anticipating how this is going to backfire on them.
Second amendment protects the first.
