"Don't Say Gay" Bill Proposed In Tennessee →
volunteertv.com
“You’re looking at legislation that is going to make sure that when you are talking about sexuality with students that it is age appropriate,” said Matthew Parsons, a father of seven children and founder of the group “Something Better.”
He says he’s in favor of the proposed bill that avoids talking about homosexuality to kids so young.
“If we’re talking about homosexuality, we are talking about specific acts that are going to be unhealthy for anybody to engage in outside of marriage.”
The bill, known as House Bill 229 or Senate Bill 49, says in part: “No public elementary or middle school shall provide any instruction or material that discusses sexual orientation other than heterosexuality.”
And…what “specific acts” would you need to talk about, Mr. Parsons? Kissing? Hugging? Being in love? Thinking someone is attractive? Please, throw me a fucking bone here, ‘cause I’m lost.
Not talking about gayness won’t make it go away!
Well TN, it’s been fun but it’s time for me to get out of here! I cant……even…. wow 0_0
Pfft in some districts you can’t even search information about sexuality because you MIGHT come across gay & lesbian friendly results. MIGHT.
TIME TO PACK
Oh, holy fucking hell, why can’t these people just go live in the goddamn caves they obviously came from and marry their idiot sisters as they so clearly desire?
Jesus, I’m sick of these scumbags.
Guys can we not trot out the ridiculous Southern Incest stereotype when we’re complaining about horrible bigotry? I mean, the whole “Gays are clearly only pornographic thing” is bad enough on its own.

Also, is it just me, or does Maggey get cuter all the time? <3
It’s def not just you. She is adorable
Nutrition and privilege
sqbr:
It’s not just about education, decent fresh produce and healthy food can be expensive and hard to come by, especially if you don’t have a car. This is particularly bad in the US based on what I’ve read and my brief visit there. The cereal aisle in Kroger’s was deeply disturbing and it was very hard to find anything that didn’t contain sugar, and the contrast when I found a “healthy” supermarket was striking.
See also If only poor people understood nutrition! and the foodpolitics links of the awesome yiduiqie.
Also, not a criticism but an addition: finding energy and ingredients to cook is even harder when you’re disabled and have food restrictions. I eat a lot of cereal (thus my issue with US cereal aisle :))
(Why yes, I am experimenting with the “read more” tag. Unsuccessfully it would seem :/)
I really don’t understand why it’s so difficult to understand why those in poverty don’t make nutrition their first priority.
“More than one-third of American adults wake up in the middle of the night on a regular basis. Of those who experience “nocturnal awakenings,” nearly half are unable to fall back asleep right away. Doctors frequently diagnose this condition as a sleep disorder called “middle-of-the-night insomnia,” and prescribe medication to treat it. Mounting evidence suggests, however, that nocturnal awakenings aren’t abnormal at all; they are the natural rhythm that your body gravitates toward. According to historians and psychiatrists alike, it is the compressed, continuous eight-hour sleep routine to which everyone aspires today that is unprecedented in human history. We’ve been sleeping all wrong lately — so if you have “insomnia,” you may actually be doing things right.”

I recall reading years and years ago that apparently people who live sans artificial light end up defaulting to a sleep cycle where they naturally wake up after a few hours, spend a while awake, and then go back to sleep.

I assumed it was because it’s easy to bump ‘em all up to “usual action hero age” given like the wholesale crazy slaughter and stuff. It’s kind of uncomfortable to really think about 13-year-olds impaling and shooting and strangling one another. :(aren’t they supposed to be 13??
I’ve noticed that too. (Though I don’t mind because some people make them look really cool.)
I try my best to make them look their age. It’s fun drawing adorable young teens. :D
I think style is definitely part of…

THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS
Somebody missed their education on human sexuality…
How the fuck is it anyone’s business what…
In utero, before the genitalia develops, the fetal genitalia is described as feminine, as urogenital folds with a protuberance in the middle of those folds. There is a urethra found behind the protuberance. When the SRY gene is present, the fetal gonads become testes. If it’s not, they become ovaries. Male or female, we start with the same equipment. Just because you’re born male does not mean you want to stick your penis in vaginas, just because you’re born female does not mean you want your vagina poked by penises. Is it that big of a leap to think if someone is born one gender, that they may not feel they were meant to be born that way?
By the way, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE WHAT SOMEONE DECIDES THEIR GENDER OR SEXUALITY TO BE? Unless it directly involves you, keep your head buried under the sand and mind yo’ business.
LISTEN ALL YOU PEOPLE WITH NON-BINARY GENDERS JUST NEED TO MAGICALLY CHANGE YOUR INHERENT NEUROLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE TO MAKE THINGS EASIER ON ME, THE PERSON WHO IS BINARY-GENDERED, BECAUSE MY NOT HAVING TO THINK TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER YOUR EXISTENCE. I MEAN I AM SUPER-TOLERANT AND NOT BIGOTED BUT I HAVE STANDARDS!!!!
This makes me want to cry
:’(“No government has the right to tell its’ citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don’t love anybody.” —Rita Mae Brown
Marriage and love are separate issues. By denying marriage, government is certainly not barring the feeling or expression of love. However, it IS creating an unfair and unsupportable dichotomy in terms of which groups of otherwise emancipated adults are allowed to enter into a particular kind of contract. Which is why denying homosexual marriage is total bullshit.
