By Editors LGBTQNation (Chandler, Arizona) APR 29 | Tennessee lawmaker Sen. Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville), sponsor of the “don’t say gay” bill that would prohibit teachers from discussing homosexuality in kindergarten through 8th grade classrooms, said Thursday that homosexuality is a learned behavior.
Appearing on the David Pakman show, Campfield said, “Well, so far I haven’t seen anything that’s proven there’s a gay gene, that has not been proven to me. [...] I just haven’t seen anything that proves it’s anything but a learned behavior.”

Pakman also asked Campfield is he was concerned that the bill would create a hostile environment for LGBT youth, or lead to an increase in anti-gay bullying or teen suicide.
“Well, I think it could do just the opposite, actually. If a teacher’s advocating against the lifestyle, it’s saying what that is is dirty, it’s filthy, it’s wrong, it’s an abomination … I think my bill would stop that.”
The measure, SB49, was approved last week by a Senate committee.

If it is learned, there must be an awful lot of parents teaching it. Of course the hypocrisy of then kicking out their gay child boggles the mind. Of course anyone with any logic can see that this intolerance by many parents proves that it is NOT LEARNED, as they would never have taught it. Talk about wanting to have both the cake and to eat it too.
