State Democrat Rep. Rui Xu (D) has demanded to know if the bill could censor a site listing the “top 10 most gay-friendly cities.” He claims the bill is written vaguely, and that Republican lawmakers did not consider the unintentional and sizable consequences that the bill would put into action.
Sigh
No, dumbass. You’re either living under a rock or you’re an idiot who should be barred from holding office because you’re too naive to see it for what it is.
They know it’s vague.
They know it’d have a widespread impact on the internet.
That’s the whole point.
The intent is to make LGBT topics too toxic for anyone to engage with voluntarily, thereby silencing the community.
Stop letting the slack out. Stop giving them an inch because they always, always will take it a mile. Stop pretending that there isn’t darkness hiding under their pleasant demeanor.
He probably knows all that. Normally all the minority party can do is force these people to state things things out loud and on the record. Besides, things have to be put simply like this because most people put so little thought into what stuff like this means. They have no idea what the legal system is like or how it can be used against them because they just don’t pay attention. That’s its own problem.
Pleasant demeanor? What USA are you living in? The one I’m in has wretched, awful scum like Margie and Definitely Real Human Cruiseface. And have you seen our version of theDonBonJovi? I’d like a ticket to your USA, please.
When does Kansas get backhanded for passing unconstitutional laws?
Right after Florida, probably.
As if Kansas lawmakers actually care about harm to children unless it personally affects them. I will never forget the waterslide incident, allowing parks to self inspect and not adhere to basic safety standards is wild. It wasn’t until a politician’s kid died that they changed the rules.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verrückt#:~:text=Verrückt permanently closed in 2016,State of Kansas)%20Scott%20Schwab.
Verrückt permanently closed in 2016 following a fatal incident involving the decapitation of Caleb Schwab, the 10-year-old son of Kansas state legislator (and later Secretary of State of Kansas) Scott Schwab.
After Scott Schwab spoke to his fellow legislators about his son’s death and its effect on him, they voted to change the law that had allowed Schlitterbahn to self-inspect, requiring that all the state’s amusement park attractions be regularly inspected by the state.
On February 22, 2019, criminal charges were dismissed against [slide makers] … the law at the time did not require that those standards be followed.
But yeah, get right on protecting those kids from the gays. And not forced conversion therapy, which is legal in most of Kansas from what I can tell.
But they protect churches from prosecution when they children. We need vote every fucking GOP member out of office and run them out of our country.
Good luck with that, we all know once they censor something it’s gone forever. 🙄
It’s just like how they outlawed pornhub (ok, not in KS, but still) and now you can’t see boobs.
So is it sites that are specifically lgbtq+, or any site that has content as such? If the later, that’s nearly a third of the internet.
Edit: actually read the article. It’s any site where the content is considered harmful to minors, including homosexual content. So how much of NetFlix, YouTube, Facebook, etc get banned under this?
I consider biblical content harmful to minors.
Well, the Bible does depict acts of sodomy, so it definitely qualifies as a violation.
are you ok, US?
No, please send help.
You have the second amendment, not much more help we can offer.
