A piece of legislation at one time referred to as the Indiana 'Don't Say Gay' Bill has passed the IN House, and now moves to the Senate.
Republicans - who say the bill expands parents' ability to decide how their children are raised - pushed ahead with the bill while all Democrats voted against it.
The 65-29 vote came one day after a state Senate public health committee approved a ban on all gender-affirming transition treatments for those under 18 - an entry in a national movement across conservatives statehouses that have introduced measures against LGBTQ individuals, from bills targeting trans athletes and drag performers to ones limiting gender-affirming care.
SEE ALSO: Indiana bill could require teachers tell parents if student changes gender identity, preferred name The first version of the House bill more closely resembled Florida legislation enacted in March 2022. The so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill, which bans discussions of LGBTQ topics until after third grade, drew intense national scrutiny from those who argued that it marginalizes LGBTQ people. Proponents say the measure is reasonable because parents, not teachers, should handle such subjects with their children.
