BREAKING: “Don’t Say Gay” Passes the Tennessee... →
projectqueer:
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...

Brut, a company which sells men’s grooming products and cologne, has a Facebook page which suggests “Some Men Just Need to be Slapped”.
