A Utah lawmaker who introduced a bill concerning appropriate classroom instruction that was nearly identical to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill has removed LGBTQ+ specific references from the measure, representing a victory for LGBTQ+ equality advocates.
State Rep. Jeff Stenquist (R-Draper) introduced HB 550, which seeks to ensure that classroom instruction or discussion of sexuality does not take place in grades K-3, and only takes place in older grades in a manner that is both age and developmentally appropriate.
Initially, Stenquist’s bill specifically included the terms “sexual orientation and gender identity” when talking about sexuality, but the Republican amended his bill in response to pushback from the LGBTQ+ community.
