Senate Bill 100, which aims to prohibit government offices, public schools and colleges from flying flags representing political viewpoints—including those related to race, sexual orientation, gender, or political ideology—has drawn strong opposition from LGBTQ+ advocates and allies.

I think what he's saying is get rid of WOKE. I never heard of gay people in the 50's. No one talked about it. No one cared. And no one cares now. As far as Gays not being included, that is hog wash. Tell that to Reinaldo too.
