The bill prohibits classroom discussions on gender identity and sexual orientation for children in kindergarten through third grade. Some of the biggest critics, however, insist on calling it the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill while claiming it literally bans the word \u201cgay\u201d from public discourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now Disney Channel alum Raven-Symon\u00e9 is sharing her thoughts on the matter. The \u201cThat\u2019s So Raven\u201d alum said her opposition to the bill was personal due to her being a member of the LGBT community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m gonna say this, and this is my thing: If there\u2019s a \u2018Don\u2019t Say Gay\u2019 bill, there should be a \u2018Don\u2019t Say Straight\u2019 bill, because it\u2019s not fair,\u201d Symon\u00e9 said during an appearance on NBC\u2019s morning show, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/raven-symone-dont-say-gay-law-230819227.html\"><span>Yahoo News<\/span><\/a><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Meanwhile on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TODAYshow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TODAYshow<\/a>: \u201cIf there\u2019s a don\u2019t say gay bill, there should be a don\u2019t say straight bill\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What are the chances that she actually read the bill? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BsAGlZrOJE\">pic.twitter.com\/BsAGlZrOJE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Libs of Tik Tok (@libsoftiktok) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/1509250773279932420?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 30, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cThere are multiple kinds of humans in this world, and you are ruining the psyche, the confidence of so many young children, because you are discrediting their parents, the people they love, the people that raised them, the people that teach them the manners when they walk into that schoolroom. So if you\u2019re not gonna honor their family, your family shouldn\u2019t be honored either,\u201d Symon\u00e9 added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201cRaven\u2019s Home\u201d star also discussed why she felt compelled to create a reality show about her life with partner Miranda Maday. The project debuted on YouTube last April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI figured now would be a good time, because I found my life partner.

You don\u2019t have to cuss me out. You don\u2019t have to cancel. You can just tell me why. And we can talk about it. And we can learn from each other, and I learn from her every day,\u201d Symon\u00e9 added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On March 22, Symon\u00e9 shared a video of herself and other \u201cRaven\u2019s Home\u201d cast members participating in the walkout off the set, which was organized to protest HB 1557.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CbalBdRpf8e\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p><span>She added the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CbalBdRpf8e\/\">caption:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span>In support of our LGBTQ+ family and all of those who will be damaged by the \u201cdon\u2019t say gay bill\u201d we the cast of Ravens Home are walking out.
