Tennessee’s legislature, by passing the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill” doesn’t want teachers or students to speak or hear the word gay ued in school because — well — because it might teach them that gay people exist. And that’s the my most generous assumption I can make base on their vote to silence all discussion about homosexuality in school.

Watch his video:
All I can add to that is have a Takei day everyone.
