[TexasTowelie]

Wednesday afternoon the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization condemned the Louisiana House's motion to revive HB837, commonly referred to as the "Don't Say Gay' bill.

On Thursday, March 17, Louisiana House Representative Dodie Horton introduced a bill that would bar school employees from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in classrooms.

Horton (R) represents District 9, which includes Bossier Parish.

House Bill 837 states:

No teacher, school employee, or other presenter shall cover the topics of sexual orientation or gender identity in any classroom discussion or instruction in kindergarten through grade eight.

No teacher, school employee, or other presenter shall discuss his own sexual orientation or gender identity with students in kindergarten through grade twelve
