March 6 (UPI) —<\/span> Saturday Night Live<\/i> cast member Kate McKinnon took to the show’s “Weekend Update” segment to condemn the Florida House’s recent passage of a bill to regulate public school teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity.<\/p>\n

Now on its way to the Florida Senate, the measure critics are calling the “don’t say gay” bill bans discussions in grades K-3.\n<\/p>\n

McKinnon initially pretended to misunderstand the bill’s intention as a move to keep homosexual kids from being mocked in school.<\/p>\n

After “Weekend Update” host Colin Jost explained it, McKinnon said: “I am deeply gay — concerned, deeply concerned. It just feels like this will make kids gay and trans. Sorry, depressed and suicidal. I think these laws are lesbians. Sorry, unconscionable.”<\/p>\n

“I’m trying to make sense of this,” she added. “Does this ‘don’t say gay’ law have a purpose?”<\/p>\n

“I guess it’s so kids don’t go home with questions parents don’t want to answer,” Jost said.<\/p>\n

“So, one kid can say, ‘I live with my parents,’ but another one has to say, ‘I live in a house with two adult men who bought me when I was young?’ That way they will be less confused?”\n<\/p>\n

She went on to say that if gay means bad, then “this is the gayest law I’ve ever seen.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
