A Utah lawmaker proposed a bill prohibiting discussion of sexuality, sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms. The legislation copies language from a Florida law referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” measure.
That happened just nine days into the 45-day annual gathering of lawmakers.
Children in kindergarten through third grade aren’t taught about those topics, Williams said — nor are those older than that. That measure was called the “no promo homo” law and it prohibited advocacy of same-sex relationships in public schools’ health classes. Equality Utah had sued the state for having the discriminatory policy and then agreed to work with legislators to repeal it instead.
