Sorry Desantis, but I think Disney may have gotten the last laugh

    No, I read it in several major newspapers. By your definition police violence against minorities, murder, rape, abortion, armed robbories, major championships in tennis and golf are rumors since I've never personally seen any of thise things. I look forward to you holding yourself to the same standard is the future.

    Not sure why it’s up for debate to not have kids at drag shows or gay parades. Simple as that. If you condone that then that’s all I need to know about you.

    I saw it at a gay parade because I went with a family member who is gay to support them. Thanks for playing. The tolerant left strikes again.

    This alternative world you live in must be a really unusual place. Thousands of gay men are exposing themselves everywhere but you don't read about it because the lefties are either celebrating being able to view strange men's genitalia or the media is covering it up. I think my worst nightmare right now would be getting stuck next to you on a 14 hour flight.

    So, in your alternative world teachers were indoctrinating children about sexual orientation? This was all DeSaster politically posturing for a presidential run and believing he needs to get the support of the right's worst to get there.

    The frequency of the problem has nothing to do with the question of whether it's a problem.

    Just what I would expect from DeSater's target audience. Carry on with your imaginary crises.

    What about children (under 18) that come out as gay? What do you propose for them? My niece came out at 13, took her girlfriend to prom, played basketball at a Lutheran College and graduated in 3 years with a 4.0 and is now in UF Law. Tell me how going to a pride parade when she was 16 "damaged her"?

    Right. The logic is DeSantis is SO authoritarian, he legislates prohibiting things that aren't happening.

    Your niece sounds like a wonderful person, a wonderful asset to society. You should all be very proud of her.

    What do you think all that this book banning, sexual orientation prohibition, taking over a university and feuding with Disney is about? NONE of this was a problem until that tiny excuse for a human being made it so....just so people like you will vote for him.

    Good for her. I didn’t bring my 12 year old daughter at the time because I know what is shown and not shown at a gay pride parade. You want to sexualize your kid that’s your choice. Most people will say no to that.

    Lost in the Republican rush to blindly tilt at windmills, I suppose, is the fact that the teacher is being investigated.... showing , in fact, the behavior is not accepted nor systemic, even in Orange Cty. California.
    DeS made up a culture war for publicity.

    I guess we're back to the cycle:
    1. DeSantis is authoritarian.
    2. No, he's not, he's prohibiting things that shouldn't happen against vulnerable groups of people, like children.
    3. It's not happening.
    4. Yes it is, here's how.
    5. Alright it is, but it's good that it's happening and how dare you oppose that it's happening.

    Also, asked and answered but I'll humor you.

    The protection of parents' rights and the preservation of the innocence of children.

    So you would agree this is a bad thing and it's good that she's being investigated?

    How authoritarian of you. I'll start calling you "Ronny Jr."

    I can only assume your 12 year old daughter is not a cheerleader doing splits in a mini skirt in front of a bunch of spectators - right? Nor will she be right? I sure hope not or it would smack of hypocrisy.

    It’s the SAME DAMN THING. You’re just conditioned to think one is “normal” and the other isn’t.

    To ignore the many real issues that exist that affect large numbers of Floridians, to simply invent a culture war is moronic. It appears to be failing spectacularly on the National scene as most people with more than room temperature IQ discern it for what it actually is. Perhaps DeS will go after puppy burning and kitten drowning next? Only if he can invent some bogeyman to blame it on. Pathetic.

    No she isn’t a cheerleader and it’s not close to the same thing. But thanks for the laughs. Good one, I hadn’t heard that absurd comparison before. Unfortunately we are all now dumber for having read that from you.
