Be warned Governor Desantis of Florida has declared that photographing and distributing for view photos of rainbows after a storm will be a third-degree Felony — punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. Such photos are considered an advocation and support of g****r confusion and homosexuality.

The suggestion that Republicans advocate such laws is because they are closet homosexuals is ridiculous. Randy Rainbow's parody about our very masculine governor is not appreciated.

Our society must be cleansed of such evil. Thanks to our governor, and president in 2024... Consider his strength and determination... "Within the first few weeks of school, teachers in some parts of the state have been asked to take down stickers showing support for L.G.B.T.Q. students, to review every book on their classroom shelves and, in at least one case, to remove the rainbow-colored paper from a classroom door after the decorations prompted a complaint from a parent, according to interviews with teachers, union officials, and advocates for gay rights across Florida.

The thoughts of true Republicans will be welcomed...

Your first reference talks about the "don't say gay" bill. There is no legislation with this title or statement.
Your second reference (from NYT) states "The law does not ban “incidental references in literature to a gay or t*********r person or to a same sex couple,” according to court documents."
Please provide a reference to support Desantis declaring "that photographing and distributing for view photos of rainbows after a storm will be a third degree felony." I would like to read it.

My goal is to bring attention to the insanity of the dictatorial governor who wants to be president. He has "Homophobia, t***sphobia, biphobia and acephobia are terms used to describe the fear or dislike or someone, based on prejudice or negative attitudes, beliefs or views about people who are or are perceived to be lesbian, gay, q***r, t***s, bi or asexual (ace)+. "

Two Republican legislators in Florida have filed bills that would ban the display of P***e f**gs in municipal buildings across the state. Photographs of sky rainbows after a rain would be an extension of laws... typical of dictatorial governments.

Republican response, how about a conservative independent response? First, no Republican nor any Real American would put any credence whatsoever in the NYT's, a far-left publication that for two plus years not only lied, but called those who considered the W***n Lab as the likely origins of the C***d v***s as whackos and conspiracy theorists.

Secondly, the NYT's totally distorted and completely lied about the Florida Bill...NOTHING IN THERE ABOUT "Don't Say Gay." The NYT's has absolutely NO CREDIBILITY, never has.

As far as post storm rainbow photos and distributing them being a crime, that is so far-fetched so as to be completely ridiculous and really not even worth responding to.

DeSantis set a record winning percentage by swamping that tired, worn-out old candidate the Dems selected, Charlie Crist, and has made Florida a far better place. I look forward to bigger and better things for Florida and America under Top Gov.

Were you born a sexual d*****t, biological error or did you flip after being raped by the family dog? Now YOU want special accommodations for perverts.

DeSantis stands for America. I am more interested in what he stands for than your f*ggot leanings.

P***e f**gs should not be displayed in municipal buildings just like any other f**gs but our national f**g and state f**gs should not be displayed in municipal buildings.

Displaying f**gs is a show of support for the group or cause and municipal employees are supposed to be neutral while at work. Would you be angry if a Christian f**g were displayed in a municipal building? Because that would be exactly the same thing.

Blaster34 Loc: Florida Treasure Coast

You mean like the Ten Commandments being display in the Supreme Court? I like a Christian f**g, its what America was founded on, Christian principles, not any specific denomination though....

Randy Rainbow is a recognized parody song writer and was referenced for humor. I am amazed that UHH Attic people took Randy Rainbow as a serious reference... have you no humor? Also my saying that photos of weather related Rainbows was a felony was a stretch and only to Reductio ad absurdum. This is a debate technique of agreeing eith some one by "reducing to an absurdity." It involves characterizing an opposing argument in such a way that it seems to be ridiculous, or the consequences of the position seem ridiculous.

Blaster34 got it right, we are not a "Puritan" Euro-White only nation. I have an Italian linage neighbor who is a Trumpite, I warn him that he is of mixed blood considering his family was from southern Italy. Also he is Catholic and many are anti Jewish, anti Catholic... to many, Protestant being the "only true religion." The small town 100 y old Baptist Church I escaped from at 10 y old would make Desantis happy, they were against every thing. It was WW2 and they were more like the Germans Gestapo in the movies than the happy go lucky American GIs.

America must be free and the New Republican Party is not for that. They, the leaders, believe the minority should rule the majority by gerrymandering and violence. 1-6 was just a friendly tour of the capital.. sure!!!

Checkmate, sorry to disappoint you I am not a f*ggot... hang around the toilet and another republican will happen-by who may be and relieve your pent up desires.

There is a difference in being against something and being against promoting something. Why do those on the Left feel homosexuality and t*********rism must be pushed down not only our but our kid's throats? Accepting this behavior is one thing but acting as if homosexuality or t*********rism is a code of honor is another thing. And as far as churches being against everything they are against what God is against. Why would anyone expect them to deviate from the teachings of the Bible to accomodate man?
I'm responding to dpullum's post. Forgot to hit quote reply.

So you admit you are a LIAR?

Why SHOULD gay f**gs be posted in government buildings? What is the purpose? Being gay or L***Q is a sexual preference. WTF should that ever be highlighted by displaying a f**g denoting such foolishness in a government building? If that is acceptable then surely a f**g denoting the NRA, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, those of us who belong to the Ugly Hedge Hog group should also be allowed to fly our f**gs proudly in government buildings. What is wrong with having the American F**g denote our country's p***e and not p***e in sexual choice?

Why must the tail always wag the dog with the Democratic Party. A very small percentage of people are gay in America and yet the Democratic Party/lying corrupt Left Wingers insist on chasing windmills to fight vigorously for their rights which from my point of view are not challenged.

dennis2146, Liar, oh like an on/off light switch that is the only sanctioned light switch in the cozy washing DC Republican infamous homosexual nest hotel on K street. Dennis there are dimmers, and there are degrees of stretching the t***h... reductio ad absurdum is a debate technique... "a mode of argumentation that seeks to establish a contention by deriving an absurdity from its denial, thus arguing that a thesis must be accepted because its rejection would be untenable. It is a style of reasoning that has been employed throughout the history" .... Dennis, that was my goal... to prompt debate.

F**gs and prayers have no place in government, I agree. Both bring forth emotions that cloud intellect that is affliction is common in the attic section. To me the rainbow people deserves a shrug of the shoulders... I really do not care. I by nature, probably genetics, am a heterosexual... I enjoy the ladies and have extensively studied their anatomy by Braille, a tactile reading. My old saying was "to each his own, as long as he does not try to grab mine."

In many countries the "straight society" shrugs their shoulders and accepts that they are who they are and that is their personal, perhaps genetic, decision. General acceptance is common worldwide**... often those individuals who fear L**TI are those who fear it in themselves. [Smile... Once a woman confessed to me that she was a lesbian and then confessed to her that I was by definition a lesbian... she invited her girlfriend over and we had a good week end!!]

Well said. Over the years I have had numerous gay and lesbian friends, lived with a family where the husband was gay and still have gay friends that I go out to dinner with on a somewhat regular basis. I have no problem with gay and lesbians whatsoever. But like you I h**e having their sexual preference shoved down my throat as the Left Wing does. I also strongly object to schools having anything displayed regarding the rainbow f**g or gay and lesbian references. This is a sexual choice and nothing more. Like anything sexual it these things should be private and behind closed doors. Children do not need the Left Wing shoving these references down their throat either. I don't care if somebody screws a sheep if they do it with their own sheep and in their own house.

Well you did LIE and you did prompt debate. But was the lying necessary? What are we debating, the lie you told? Hardly seems like a worthwhile exercise, does it?

Yes I am also a lesbian because I like women. But I do not talk about my sexual choices in public. Those are things for behind closed doors. There is no reason anybody should be pointing fingers at others and saying, straight, gay, lesbian. Nobody cares except for the constant windmills chased by the lying corrupt Left Wingers.
