Hey folks, Julie and I are not done with the “Don't Say Gay Bill”. Why do you ask? Because apparently people do not understand it, and people do not understand the significance of it, and we think we need to help people out!There still is super powerful because it impacts the beliefs of children at an early age. It can cause bullying; it causes judgment; it can cause low self-esteem. As time goes on and the longer this bill stands and as children grow up underneath its power then people learn that being gay is wrong. SO this episode is really us bitching and explaining. So we start with a lot of laughs. Don't worry you might fart and snort at the beginning, and then you're probably going to get mad at the governor of Florida and a lot of the Floridians for a bit. And at the end don't be surprised if you sh*t in your pants due to more laughter. We also urge listeners to share this episode, which is something we don't normally do. We really want people to know the power of this bill  and share it. **Don't forget to Subscribe to the show! **Support for the show is always appreciated.  Ratings and reviews can be giving on any podcast platform.  **If you would like exclusive content, podcast swag, and more, become a Patron!!Jupiter Jupiter makes CBD that protects your mind and makes you feel better. 10% discount WONDERFUL10 Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/hellowonderfulpodcast)
