Just as a disclaimer I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I don’t fault the people that disagree with me. I’m already aware that the “don’t say gay” bill doesn’t actually say the word gay but it does mention sexual orientation and gender identity each twice. I agree we shouldn’t be talking about sex in 3rd grade. But the teachers I bonded with the most were always the ones who made an effort to have a personal connection with the class. Teachers shouldn’t be spending lots of time diving into their personal lives, but I believe they should be able to talk about loved ones back home freely regardless of their sexual orientation. The video on my patreon had issues uploading and I’m on vacation in Utah right now so I won’t be able to fix it till after the 28th when I get home, sorry about the delay!
Socially advanced European countries formally do educate about sex as soon as kids hits school. Why? Because knowledge is empowerment. Empowerment keeps you safe. Kids know gender before they can speak and you know those coy parental questions that kids can have and that they show, denying them knowledge for their level of comprehension is detrimental and to tell lies about life is worse. Educating is NOT taking their innocence away, but will go a great distance to stop abuse if it occurs. They learn about behaviour norms, to consider another. Equality. This essential right has to be taken out of complete parental control as when ignorant, it is perverse in those. You have an governmental curricula for education-standardisation for all subjects, otherwise society falls into a heap of prejudice and achieves nothing.- Just look at the religious countries? Nobodies, in that they use other peoples' knowledge but don't make the advancements. Mired.
the florida bill stipulates K-3 but doesn't stop there. If you read the bill language it goes further than that. “in kindergarten through grade 3" is what we hear about BUT it goes on to say "or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” This sentence leaves prosecution open beyond the grade of 3 and is sort of the proverbial "wolf in sheep's clothing" that extends the possibility of action against teachers beyond the 3rd grade.
@@georgejones2674 That's why you hate conservative politics because it's full of religious nutters, but dangerous to society. Usually, they let the few grab all the money, wealth and crap upon everybody else!
My college roommate confided in me that he’s gay. He’s 18 years old but he couldn’t come out to his parents because they’re deeply religious. Hopefully things will work out for all of them in the not too distant future
I am touched and amazed by the governor's response. He laid a lot on the line to say that. I don't know much else about him, but if nothing else, I admire the courage of his convictions to speak so well to the topic and try to do what he felt was right instead of what would appease his constituency. I pray we all learn to put love before party.
My husband is a educator in MN. Minnesota is traditionally blue. He is moving in with me this summer in Wisconsin, a purple state. Thankfully neither of our states have started to pass things like Florida....
One day a man was walking along the beach, when he noticed a boy hurriedly picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “Young man, what are you doing?” The boy replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” The man laughed to himself and said, “Don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make any difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, “I made a difference to that one.”
You are such a fine young man. I loved your appreciation of the brave governor. Don't worry about crying. An ancient Christian sage said tears should be recognized as a sacrament. Big hug & wishing you many such tears.
Awesome video! I love your coverage of the Utah bill and the governor's heartfelt response to it. Of course you should be talking about these things. I found and followed your channel a really long time ago, and I'm really glad to see you producing more content lately. 🙏
Glad to hear your ideas and ideals..some people just don't seem to think for themselves and repeat word for word what they hear others say...they have not developed their philosophical thinking...
A good video as always!! I have never understood when others discussing a same-sex relationship that people always talk about sex, as we LGBTQ people would not do anything else in our lives!!
My best friend just came out to me as trans, I will never vote for hate. It is very tough for me to wrap my head around my best friend being trans! For me, I will always love and respect my best friend no matter what because they are a truly good person. Love, acceptance, and respect are everything! You can never walk a day in someone else's shoes. Remember that every single person is fighting their own battle! Peace.
So fantastic to see you taking a stand. We are all people and we all need to be treated equally. Tearing up was fantastic because it showed how true your heart is. Thank you for being you .... be strong.
Don't be embarrassed if you tear up in some of your videos. I tear up listening to some of your videos. We've got to fight back against this silly "boys don't cry" thing. I hope we can make it safe for even heterosexual men to express "feminine" emotions in public.
Great post on all levels! I'd say the LGBT so called "controversial issues" need to go to the Supreme Court to give all us Americans the same human rights!
Many of your prior videos have been heartfelt and emotional for a variety of reasons but, for me, this one is at the top of the list - which says a lot given the high quality content that you have consistently provided. Like most gay men I have been following the Don’t Say Gay bill and similarly hateful legislation that has sadly either been passed or is pending in far too many states. The volume of cruelty, name calling and vicious lies that has been posted on social media on a daily basis in recent months (and appears to be escalating largely due to Desantis and Abbott) has been disheartening and infuriating. I continue to believe that the number of decent, compassionate people far outnumber the bad but the extreme rancor of the vocal haters makes me doubt that at times. Thank you so much for addressing this important topic - and doing so with such eloquence and genuine emotion. You’re not the only one who has gotten emotional, believe me - which shows that you care and have a kind heart (as all of your longtime followers already know). Thank you for the considerable time that you obviously spend in making these vlogs and for continuing to brighten our lives with all your videos, which do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Keep taking care of yourself and thanks for being you! 🌈❤️
I am a mental health counselor in the Florida school system who happens to be lgbtq plus along with belonging to another minority group. the Florida law not only prohibits talking about same sex relationships and issues from kindergarten the third grade. it also states that I'm not allowed to have conversations that are not developmentally appropriate. the problem is nowhere in the does it Define developmentally appropriate. I've had six years of education and two master's degrees dealing with education and development so I know scientifically what the term means but those short-sighted trolls of a a republican legislature have no f****** clue. I've even had fellow teachers in my family say how does it affect you? you deal with 11 through 18 year olds? for those who don't know it affects me in that if a parent deems I have been developmentally inappropriate with their child I can now be sued and fired. I swear if I can afford to I f****** quit. I'm so angry. I had to fight so long and so hard for everything. and I realized that those who have come before us had it harder. I'm just so tired. and I'm nearly broken to be honest. the only thing that's keeping me sane is knowing increasingly I am a safe space for a lot of those kids and if I leave who will they have? I don't mean to sound so self-important because I'm not. I'm so tired friend so tired. I'm done
@@josephgarner94 Joseph, I asked you to PLEASE watch Max Blumenthal on the GrayZone. PLEASE at least get educated and ask yourself what the US would be doing if Russia was supplying weapons to Mexico against us and installing missile systems on the Rio Grande. We’d be lighting our hair on fire. That is what WE are doing in Ukraine. Let’s pray this poking the bear doesn’t lead to nuclear holocaust, shall we? Meanwhile how about toning down the Russian hate. It’s one thing to dislike Putin but all Russians? Come on you’re better than that.
i just ran across your channel ..thanx too guys like you mabey things will change i am a 57 yr old gay male and my otherhalf is mtf trans and seems harder here then ever too be gay where other countries are more accepting i mean we are america .i love being gay and love too see channels like this in support and informing others that we are not all weird we actually are himan beings who deserve so much more from the country we pay taxes too , or hey mabey we should be able too not pay taxes as we are not a part of this country (lol) i will end this now but good for you too keep america informed
The Bill was written in a spirit of Hate, and fear. Ron and the Republicans would rather focus on something that is not happening than talk about the homeless and the lack of affordable housing here in Florida. I feel like I am in a time warp and I am back in High School, listening to the lies of Anita Bryant, and the hope Harvey Milk gave and died for. We can not go back to the closet or to the Don't Ask Don't Tell mentality. I am proud say I am here! I am Queer! Get used to it!
Thanks Joseph for sharing your thoughts and what is going on. I wish people would just accept other people for who they are. But most people can accept themselves so therefore they can't seem to accept other people. I am glad that there is such diversity in people, culture and life styles in our world. Everyone has something special to offer to try to make this a better world. And as long as you are happy with who you are and what you are doing and not hurting anyone else, that's all the counts
Love the comment about Oscar Wilde, amazing how this Irishman so many years later ,is still reverberating around world,from a very grateful Irishmen having a little holiday in Greece watching it all on UT
Great video and good topic. Not Everyone gets or understands Transgender, Gay, or Bi Lifestyles just to name a few, but what they need to at Minimum do is to just Respect Everyone Period. Everybody Needs to Vote this November and in Each and Every Election.
Thank you for the views from Mt Bonnell on the west side of town. RM 2222 is such an awesome drive and pretty much most of west Austin. I used to work at River place and the views from there were spectacular. Also, thank you very much for the support of Ukraine. It is my understanding that there are Russians who are spreading propaganda about the Nazis. When I heard about the do not say gay bill and that it was for k thru 3rd grade I thought to myself why would anyone even have such a conversation at that age. I know that I did not when I was young. But I will say that my mother gave me a book about the birds and the bees in third grade. Also, I started to hear the F word in 4th grade. These laws are more about republican politicians who are bracing themselves against their republican competition and thus are preaching to their homophobic base. Lets face it most Republicans are brainwashed to not like us and that is fine as I do not have hang around them. What they cannot do is take our rights away from us. Already this year there were two supreme court transgendered cases that were heard in the preliminary stages and on both cases the courts sided with the transgendered individuals 9-0. The big case that will be formally heard is the one that allows religious business owners to discriminate against lgbt people. Per Federal law, when a business opens their doors to the general public, they cannot discriminate against anyone. This will be a truly interesting case that is being heard by a very ultra conservative court. I agree on how the conservatives want nothing more than to toss us under the bus but as long as we keep our heads high, we will continue to win. As former pres. Obama said, no matter who you are or where you come from, what you look like or what religion you practice, you are treated equally under the eyes of God and you are treated equally under the eyes of the law. Thank you for posting.
School children are "other people's kids". Many in the Gay community ask for respect but have a hard time giving it to others. Respect Parents ! Respect that these issues, relationships, religion, sex, race, etc. are best left to parents to be involved with their children and educate their children in their views, values and understanding of issues. The 3 R's (reading, wRiting and aRithmatic) are pretty much what educators should be teaching. Educators, especially in higher grades/ages, can share their personal insights but should always defer to parents as the arbitrator, the final educator. As children age, 14, ... 16+ ... 18, (21, 25?) they can make up their own decisions based on their own values, faith and family.
Another great video you hottie man! Your compassion is amazing. I do have a request…please do not look at your phone in your lap when you are driving…you scare me.
every 100 dollars is great you help and that is enough , and yes i saw the news about this issue , i'm glad i live in the netherlands these things are not there , we as lgbt are protected by law
Speak your mind. There is nothing wrong with that. I thiught the video was informative. It is just sad people who spend so much time worrying about what they think other people are doing.
Thanks for your opinion. While I disagree with your opinion,I respect it .thanks ps. Please avoid talking while driving as the background noise makes it difficult to hear even with ear phones😘
Joseph I really love your site. You really tell it like it should be told because you take up for the people who are gay and bi-sexual and I really do hope you can keep your blog going. We need people like you to wake people up on this issue so guys and bi people can exist. Thank you very much.
Okay, I know I'm going to get attacked but here's my problem. Doesn't a trans female have a competitive edge over the other female competitors and isn't that what the problem is?
It is definitely the little things we do each day that make the difference. No amount of wishing makes anything happen. Thanks for your passionate views & for the video.
Compliments on your attention-grabbing -- and hilarious -- title, a joke I didn't quite get until this moment! (Not just a fine young man but a sly one too.)
You're a gorgeous young man at any rate. How gay you look, well one clued up (gaydar lol,) could tell, but you're not down the easy likely end. Only for safety in a harsh land would a camp guy have adverse situations from the pig ignorant of course. Have known of some guys that speak and with mannerisms appear in the stereotypical way, a bit gay, but are not. Happily in a forever straight relationship. What I mean about that is, whatever in an accent someone's mannerisms are, they are just that, an accent and do not and cannot make a definition. You're beautiful and that is all that matters!
Ukraine does have Neo-Nazis but they are a small number. The Ukraine people are not Nazis, the President and govt is not Nazi, and the Jewishminority of Ukraine and the Muslim minority are deeply engaged in resisting Russia's vicious invasion.
There are always a minimum of two sides to most issues. Here in my area of SoCal ~85% of voters are Democrats. They support allowing males self identifying as females play female sports. However ... when they found out this would include the use of female locker rooms, showers and bathrooms -- especially those with school age females -- they were concerned. When males began playing on female teams, winning then receiving scholarships, awards, etc. thus preventing female athletes from the scholarships, etc. they became more concerned to say the least.
you've mebtioned Russia) BTW its illegal to provide any professional psychological assistance to lgbtq-teenagers in Rus. Also our Supreme Court has confirmed that there's no such a group as a LGBT) .So no hate crimes.
I’m sorry, but that’s not what the bill says. It says that public schools can’t teach sexuality to children gay straight or what ever. It also never mentions anywhere that you can’t say gay. Young children do not need to be thought any kind of sexualized material. Teachers regardless of the sexual orientation, gender identity should not be discussing personal or sexual matters with their students, especially young children. I’m gay and I would never discuss sexual matters with my young nieces or nephews. This is about the sexualization of prepubescent children. They should be worrying about their ABC’s, spelling, math, and learning socialization skills not learning any sexualized or gender specific material. Children should be taught to respect each other and to be tolerant of other people. That simple. It doesn’t have to be sexualized or made specific to any subject. Being as this is a written response many of my views may not translate well to text. Damn my dyslexia.
So many people haven’t read the bill and are just repeating liberal talking points, even if they aren’t doing it on purpose. I am gay and 100% support not discussing sex, gender theory, or anything around that topic in K-3rd grade. Honestly the only time this should be discussed at any point in school is when puberty hits, which should be limited to changes to your body in 5-6th grade and then safe sex education later around 8-9th grade. Aside from those basic topics, I don’t see why government employees should be trusted to shape the minds of children.
So my Grandchildren can not talk about their two Papas? It went from discussion to Instruction, which never really happens. I have read the Bill several times, and I live in Florida I am also an educator. the reason for this Bill is the Anit LGBTQ of Ron and the Republicans in the State of Florida. Not to be able to say Gay or Straight as an identity is going back 50 years. My 3-year-old grandson understands the difference and "sex" is not even discussed.
@@arfski I agree, yet sometimes one must believe in something outside this world to remain sane…country, God, another person, love. Something to cling to for peace of mind if you will.
You should read the bill Joseph. “Gay” doesn’t appear anywhere in the bill. It bans discussion of gender theory, sexual orientation, and sex in general whether it be straight or gay for K - 3. They’re just little kids they don’t need to hear any of that.
What if its the child that has the question? Are they to be ignored and swept under the rug? That goes for straight kids as well as Gay! The bill is interpreted as ANY ORIENTATION! This is an age when the simplest of questions can start, I've know that I felt "different" from the of about 5!
@ksfhhnfan none of these teachers should be talking about their personal life with students regardless of sexual orientation. They should be teaching. Do you even have kids? If not, stop pretending you know what’s best for them.
Yeah but we all understand what Joe's getting at. Plus what harm would come if those youth mention their gay uncle whose at home...because its fact & their family explained it to their kids at home & those kids don't need to be yelled at by school teachers for learning LGBT definitions ahead of their peers at home. Don't pick on Joe's post.
Exactly, we shouldn’t allow the government to decide what beliefs to instill in children, especially those that are not approved by parents. I’m gay, but I’m not going to conflate equal rights with pushing an ideological agenda in schools.
Just as a disclaimer I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I don’t fault the people that disagree with me. I’m already aware that the “don’t say gay” bill doesn’t actually say the word gay but it does mention sexual orientation and gender identity each twice.

Respect that these issues, relationships, religion, sex, race, etc. are best left to parents to be involved with their children and educate their children in their views, values and understanding of issues. The 3 R's (reading, wRiting and aRithmatic) are pretty much what educators should be teaching. Educators, especially in higher grades/ages, can share their personal insights but should always defer to parents as the arbitrator, the final educator. As children age, 14, ... 16+ ... 18, (21, 25?) they can make up their own decisions based on their own values, faith and family.
Another great video you hottie man! Your compassion is amazing. I do have a request…please do not look at your phone in your lap when you are driving…you scare me.
A real good video, thanks for letting us know what's going on in your neck of the woods! Have a fun day
every 100 dollars is great you help and that is enough , and yes i saw the news about this issue , i'm glad i live in the netherlands these things are not there , we as lgbt are protected by law
the governor shows how all politicians should act, governor for the good of the people not your personal views
It was probably a bot sending you that comment. Hope it wasn’t a real fan/follower of yours!
Speak your mind. There is nothing wrong with that. I thiught the video was informative. It is just sad people who spend so much time worrying about what they think other people are doing.
Thanks for your opinion. While I disagree with your opinion,I respect it .thanks ps. Please avoid talking while driving as the background noise makes it difficult to hear even with ear phones😘
I really like your video and thank you for putting it out. It was really good. Thank you.
Joseph I really love your site. You really tell it like it should be told because you take up for the people who are gay and bi-sexual and I really do hope you can keep your blog going. We need people like you to wake people up on this issue so guys and bi people can exist. Thank you very much.
Okay, I know I'm going to get attacked but here's my problem. Doesn't a trans female have a competitive edge over the other female competitors and isn't that what the problem is?

Hi Elder Garner
Take sports out of schools, period. Sports belong in parks and recreation entities.
It is definitely the little things we do each day that make the difference. No amount of wishing makes anything happen. Thanks for your passionate views & for the video.
Compliments on your attention-grabbing -- and hilarious -- title, a joke I didn't quite get until this moment! (Not just a fine young man but a sly one too.)
You're a gorgeous young man at any rate. How gay you look, well one clued up (gaydar lol,) could tell, but you're not down the easy likely end. Only for safety in a harsh land would a camp guy have adverse situations from the pig ignorant of course.
Have known of some guys that speak and with mannerisms appear in the stereotypical way, a bit gay, but are not. Happily in a forever straight relationship. What I mean about that is, whatever in an accent someone's mannerisms are, they are just that, an accent and do not and cannot make a definition. You're beautiful and that is all that matters!
i really have missed youyr videos this on ewas awsome

Hello Joseph😀🙃🤩
Ukraine does have Neo-Nazis but they are a small number. The Ukraine people are not Nazis, the President and govt is not Nazi, and the Jewishminority of Ukraine and the Muslim minority are deeply engaged in resisting Russia's vicious invasion.
There are always a minimum of two sides to most issues. Here in my area of SoCal ~85% of voters are Democrats. They support allowing males self identifying as females play female sports. However ... when they found out this would include the use of female locker rooms, showers and bathrooms -- especially those with school age females -- they were concerned. When males began playing on female teams, winning then receiving scholarships, awards, etc. thus preventing female athletes from the scholarships, etc. they became more concerned to say the least.
you've mebtioned Russia) BTW its illegal to provide any professional psychological assistance to lgbtq-teenagers in Rus. Also our Supreme Court has confirmed that there's no such a group as a LGBT) .So no hate crimes.
Идиотизм. Ты понял вообще что ты написал?
I’m sorry, but that’s not what the bill says. It says that public schools can’t teach sexuality to children gay straight or what ever. It also never mentions anywhere that you can’t say gay. Young children do not need to be thought any kind of sexualized material. Teachers regardless of the sexual orientation, gender identity should not be discussing personal or sexual matters with their students, especially young children. I’m gay and I would never discuss sexual matters with my young nieces or nephews. This is about the sexualization of prepubescent children. They should be worrying about their ABC’s, spelling, math, and learning socialization skills not learning any sexualized or gender specific material. Children should be taught to respect each other and to be tolerant of other people. That simple. It doesn’t have to be sexualized or made specific to any subject.
Being as this is a written response many of my views may not translate well to text. Damn my dyslexia.
Your prose style is fine. The content however is denial of reality. "Some kids have 2 mommies" is NOT about sex.
So many people haven’t read the bill and are just repeating liberal talking points, even if they aren’t doing it on purpose. I am gay and 100% support not discussing sex, gender theory, or anything around that topic in K-3rd grade. Honestly the only time this should be discussed at any point in school is when puberty hits, which should be limited to changes to your body in 5-6th grade and then safe sex education later around 8-9th grade. Aside from those basic topics, I don’t see why government employees should be trusted to shape the minds of children.
Well said. I agree with you completely.
So my Grandchildren can not talk about their two Papas? It went from discussion to Instruction, which never really happens. I have read the Bill several times, and I live in Florida I am also an educator. the reason for this Bill is the Anit LGBTQ of Ron and the Republicans in the State of Florida. Not to be able to say Gay or Straight as an identity is going back 50 years. My 3-year-old grandson understands the difference and "sex" is not even discussed.
@@ruelynng59 But you don't know what kind of crazy nonsense other teachers might say to toddlers.
@@RCaugh Like singing at a flag? I call that indoctrination, should be banned.
@@arfski I agree, yet sometimes one must believe in something outside this world to remain sane…country, God, another person, love. Something to cling to for peace of mind if you will.
You should read the bill Joseph. “Gay” doesn’t appear anywhere in the bill. It bans discussion of gender theory, sexual orientation, and sex in general whether it be straight or gay for K - 3. They’re just little kids they don’t need to hear any of that.
What if its the child that has the question? Are they to be ignored and swept under the rug? That goes for straight kids as well as Gay! The bill is interpreted as ANY ORIENTATION! This is an age when the simplest of questions can start, I've know that I felt "different" from the of about 5!
@ksfhhnfan none of these teachers should be talking about their personal life with students regardless of sexual orientation. They should be teaching. Do you even have kids? If not, stop pretending you know what’s best for them.
@ksfhhnfan you don’t seem to understand what we’re discussing here. Read the bill.
Yeah but we all understand what Joe's getting at. Plus what harm would come if those youth mention their gay uncle whose at home...because its fact & their family explained it to their kids at home & those kids don't need to be yelled at by school teachers for learning LGBT definitions ahead of their peers at home. Don't pick on Joe's post.
Exactly, we shouldn’t allow the government to decide what beliefs to instill in children, especially those that are not approved by parents. I’m gay, but I’m not going to conflate equal rights with pushing an ideological agenda in schools.
totally agree with your comments on this segment.
