view · edit Frequently asked questions Q: The “Don’t Say Gay bill/act” is a pejorative term used only by the liberal media, it should be removed! A: The nickname is used extensively by many very reputable sources in the media and is likely more well known among the general public as well. The act doesn’t actually say “Don’t Say Gay”. A: The name is not literal, and is not implied to be. The phrase is frequently used by reliable sources to refer to the term, so it is included here. This article is biased and inaccurate, the actual text of the act says… The text of the act is a WP:PRIMARY source, and Wikipedia is not a place for novel legalistic interpretations of the text.

I've just finished creating the page Parental rights movement—as an aside, I would invite input to that article—I believe it would be good to link out from this article. I know this article doesn't have a See Also section, so I hesitate to suggest the creation of one just for this. Maybe another editor could suggest an alternative? Thanks.

 Done I've added a wikilink from "...parental rights..." in the "Organizations and other individuals" section. Marking as answered, but if you have a different suggestion, feel free to reopen. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 13:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the lede what if: "The law is most notable for its controversial sections which..." got changed to "The law, which purports to further parental rights, is most notable for its controversial sections which..."

I'm not sure if inserting this in the lede would require consensus on a hot-button article. MicrobiologyMarcus (talk) 14:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the ((Edit extended-protected)) template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:33, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Beginning in 2022, several Republican lawmakers vowed to oppose any future attempt to extend the copyright term due to Disney's opposition of the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act.^[1] 79.24.89.122 (talk) 22:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed a claim that Fox News used the term "'Don't Say Gay' bill" in headlines and replaced it with a claim that Fox News affiliates have used the term in headlines. The original claim, based on the given reference, is between misleading and outright false, possibly intentionally so. The supporting reference linked to a local Fox affiliate in Cleveland[1], but the Fox affiliate explicitly notes on their website that article was from AP. The Wikipedia reference, however, claimed the website was a "Fox News" (including Wikilink); one would have click on the source to realize it was not the actual "Fox News" website.

After looking into it, the vast majority of articles from Fox News that involve the term "'Don't Say Gay' bill" are outright calling the term "false" or are otherwise attacking or attempting to dispel or disprove the term (as would be expected). The closest thing I could find to the actual Fox News website using it was the headline, "Former Florida state rep who sponsored 'Don't Say Gay' bill breaks silence after prison sentence: 'Dark days'"[2]. However, the same article states, "sponsoring a parental rights bill Democrats referred to as the "Don’t Say Gay" bill" and "The bill sparked a national firestorm as Democrats and media outlets quickly dubbed the bill "Don't Say Gay" legislation despite the word gay not appearing anywhere in the bill's text." In summary, the original reference should not be used to support the claim that Fox News has used the headline "'Don't Say Gay' bill". One could possibly argue that Fox News did use it in a headline based on the one I discussed, but I would probably consider this a half truth when considering the broader context of not only the language of the article using it, but the overwhelming number of headlines and articles from Fox News explicitly attacking the term. While I added a source from a Fox News affiliate and corrected the article to say that it is from a Fox News affiliate, I don't know if a Fox News affiliate using the term is notable for the article, or if the entire reference to "Fox News" using the term should be removed.

References 1 through 4 on this article all link to the same Florida House of Representatives bill text PDF. If I'm correct about this being a worthy change, could these be compacted into one reference that all of the in-text citations link to? (As in WP:REPEATCITE, I would assume using named references) Nerdy314 (talk) 07:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just caught another instance of this with references 103 and 104 (Florida Senate bill website) if that could be fixed as well. Nerdy314 (talk) 07:05, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done oh it's another π fan, yay! 『π』BalaM314〘talk〙 10:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was a little challenging for me to find the statute. I believe it's 1001.42.

Is there an appropriate place in the article to put it? For example, second sentence of the lede, "The law..." followed by (1001.42) in parentheses with a direct external link? I'm not sure of the best way to do this, in part because the site shows the law as of today, and past and future may differ. Tuckerlieberman (talk) 21:49, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The external links section at the bottom? Dronebogus (talk) 10:09, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How about both? I added it to the External Links and the second ¶ of the lead (first ¶ is about the bill; becoming law is the second). Great catch, @Tuckerlieberman. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 13:36, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
