[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 320530, member: 33"] We had the equivalent of the "Don't Say Gay" bill in the UK, it was called Section 28 and introduced by the homophobe Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. It effectively banned schools from talking about same sex issues and a generation of children were denied the advice and counselling on these matters at school or elsewhere in their local area and made it difficult for schools to prevent or address the serious problems that could arise from homophobic bullying. The bill here, like the one in Florida, wasn't about stopping indoctrination, it was about promoting homophobia. Amy Schumer referenced the bill in the opening monologue without criticising it but showed solidarity for those affected by it. It wasn't that different to people showing solidarity to the people of Ukraine but I noticed that isn't being criticised. The political jokes were very few (maybe around 10% of the jokes made by the 3 hosts) and overwhelmingly what they talked about was films and film stars, so to say it was "endless virtue signalling" is just plain inaccurate.
