Gay is OKAY
 

You say "Don't say gay" is to help and protect our children and their parents, but in reality, it's doing the complete opposite. Thanks to this, children and teachers whom are apart of the LGBTQ+ community, feel like they are unable to open up or be who they are. Which, will later lead to suicide rates rising higher. You think this is protecting? No. All it's doing is causing and leading children and teachers who can't open up and lead them to taking their own life. The U.S. say they're doing this to protect, but the only people they're protecting are rich white homophobic men, and you are adding to this. Instead of listening to homophobes who have way to much time on their hands, listen to the people who object against this. Listen to the thousands and millions and even billions of people this is harming and the lives that you are taking and ruining.
