They know it's vague.
They know it'd have a widespread impact on the internet.
That's the whole point.
The intent is to make LGBT topics too toxic for anyone to engage with voluntarily, thereby silencing the community.
Stop letting the slack out. Stop giving them an inch because they always, always will take it a mile. Stop pretending that there isn't darkness hiding under their pleasant demeanor.
He probably knows all that. Normally all the minority party can do is force these people to state things things out loud and on the record. Besides, things have to be put simply like this because most people put so little thought into what stuff like this means. They have no idea what the legal system is like or how it can be used against them because they just don't pay attention. That's its own problem.
Pleasant demeanor? What USA are you living in? The one I’m in has wretched, awful scum like Margie and Definitely Real Human Cruiseface. And have you seen our version of theDonBonJovi? I’d like a ticket to your USA, please.
