    So if I'm reading @mtaibbi correctly, government forcing teachers to be closeted is a less serious free speech problem than, say, twitter suspending someone for calling on killing of LGBTQ+ people. Is that his position?pic.twitter.com/fKbKInRLgu

        of course, all you gotta do is vote some third party running on an anti-mods platform into power in Louisiana and repeal the law

        Does this mean a straight teacher can’t refer to his or her spouse?

        Either that's the case, or a gay male teacher is welcome to discuss their husband / boyfriend. Just can't say "gay". Some straight ally teachers should mention their hetero spouses as a test. Set that precedent, one way or the other.
