So funny. This is like Top Gun-level gay. A contender for the Poe's Law championship award.

But I don't think Tucker's kidding or ignorant, here. He knows that his audience is full of men insecure in their masculinity. He helped instill some of those feelings himself. He wants to cash in. Oddly enough, he's kinda right: If you're unironically watching Tucker Carlson, I agree, you've got plenty to be insecure about.

Meanwhile, the right wing (or at least the state of Florida) has decided that all LGBTQ+ people are now pedophiles, and the mere allusion to same-sex anything inside of a classroom is child "grooming".

And that's fucking disgusting.

Are there any discussions about this among the faculty at your school? If I was a gay teacher, especially in Florida, I would be either planning on moving out of the state or making a career change.
