Life is getting so weird these days I feel like a terminal illness would be a blessing. When did being gay become a license to attack five year old children? I'm referring, of course, to what's going on in Florida with the 'Never Say Gay' law which isn't mentioned in the bill/law------period.
As most of you know the Florida legislature passed a law stating sex in any form could not be mentioned by teachers, kindergarten through grade 4. Seriously? It's my understanding teachers are leaving the education field in droves because they can't talk to these cherubs about their sex life. If I didn't know better I'd say someone has an agenda considering less than 1% of the population call themselves transgender and less than 3% call themselves gay/lesbian. I remember, as a kid, when one of our peers did what we thought was stupid or made a ridiculous statement we'd say, "What a homo." And that'd be it. In the late 80's when kids thought one of their classmates did something stupid they would blast out with, "That's so gay." Those were fun times, huh?
I was a secondary school instructor for twenty years. Not once did I bring up any aspect of my life regarding 'getting it on'. I do remember in the 80's talking to a history class about AIDS and that I'd read it got started because a male airline steward had sex with a monkey. At least that was the story then and we all had a good laugh and in unison said "Ewwww!" To be truthful the only time my students knew that I had a sex life was when my wife gave birth three times. They then could tell each other, "Golly, I think Mr. Hawkeye and his wife did it."
I was emailing a classmate last night on the subject of gays/lesbians when we were in high school. Thinking back I believe one of our female PE teachers was more than a guy. She had extremely short hair, wore engineer boots in her off time and rode a Harley. But, know what? None us said M.Q. was a dyke. We never thought about it. One of the high school girls played on the basketball team, the girls one, not the guys. She was short and very rotund and along with this had a full beard----or could have if she didn't shave. But, once again none of us said a word to her.
And 'Joe the Schmo' came out yesterday and said pre-teen trannies should be able to have their plumbing rearranged------if ya' know what I mean. It'd be interesting to know which member of his administration is filling his head full info from the land of fruits and nuts.
Strange times indeed!
