    I wonder if there’s other “offensive” terms we can find to highlight the absurdity and offensive nature of this action.

    Teddy is the name of lingerie, so Teddy Roosevelt needs to be wiped out of history.

    I’m sure there’s others …

        Just knowing who those two people are requires education and we can’t have that.

        Plus the sexual references? Double whammy; Ban approved.

      Is using nukes gay?

      Are you asking for a friend?

      It’s normally only considered gay if the nuke goes inside you.

    As a Log Cabin Republican I see NO PROBLEM With Republicans not only making GAYNESS illegal but making even the WORD Gay illegal! MUCH better then Lower Taxes and Equality under Democrats!
