Don't Say Gay

IN MISSOURI, THE STATE WHERE I GREW UP, lawmakers are debating a bill that would prevent any "nurse, counselor, teacher, principal, contracted personnel, or other administrative official at a public or charter school" from discussing "gender identity or sexual orientation" with a student unless they're a licensed mental-health provider and they have the permission of the student's parent or guardian. Missouri is one of 32 states to have introduced this kind of legislation, because I guess that's how you fight inflation. I'm just going to say it, cancel me if you must: I am in full support of my home state's Don't Say Gay bill and the dozens of others like it.

Don't Say Gay? I say, "Yay."
