Queer News Tonight has already been reporting on the Florida House Bill that would stop teacher from being able to discuss anything LGBTQ+. Florida state Senator Shevrin Jones said during Tuesday's education committee hearing, "As a gay man, to sit here in committee, to hear that—There was no book that I read that brought me to who I am. And even your children—I don't care what you may try to do to think that you are protecting them...the one thing you are obligated to do, like my father and mother did, is to love them for who they are." Jones' remarks came in response to the claims of several parents at the hearing, like Karen Moran, who was with a group called BEST SOS America. On Tuesday, Moran read from a book titled 'It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity', which she claimed there are 112 copies of at Palm Beach County Libraries. According to Newsweek, their search found zero copies in the library system. Moran told the committee, "It's causing gender confusion with our kids and it should not be in our libraries and we should not be funding this and we should get all these books out." Chasten Buttigieg also has something to say about it. (WATCH THIS).
