To target gay kids in schools? The bill is about not talking about sexual identity from K through third grade. That\u2019s not targeting gay kids,\u201d Baier pushed back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes it is. It is absolutely is,\u201d Murphy claimed. \u201cIt is sending a message to these kids, that they are not worthy, that they should be ashamed of their identification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy proceeded to talk over Baier as Baier pointed out that the law was about not discussing sexual identity with young children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator, do you talk to your kindergartner about sexual identity?\u201d Baier asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHalf of trans kids in this country have contemplated suicide and that\u2019s because of the effort to bully them for their identity by adults in this country,\u201d Murphy replied without answering the question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith your children, did you talk about sexual identity as a kindergartner?\u201d Baier again pressed before dropping a memorable line: \u201cI mean, you don\u2019t talk about the birds and the bees, let alone the birds and the birds, at that age, kindergarten through third grade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sen.
