A Texas bill, known as the FURRIES Act, would ban non-human behaviors in public schools, including the use of litter boxes and wearing animal accessories.

Rep. Stan Gerdes, the bill’s author, claimed schools were providing litter boxes for students acting as “furries.”

When pressed, Gerdes could not find an example. The bill was left pending in committee.

    There are probably hundreds of actual issues to dedicate time to, yet this is what he chooses to focus on?

      The great part of tackling problems that aren’t real is that nobody can see you haven’t solved anything.

      He’s a Republican. All the real problems are literally beyond his comprehension.

      “The evil queers are coming after your kids!” goes next to “the migrants are gang members” as a way to keep the base in perpetual fear all of the time. Shrieking about something that doesn’t actually happen wastes the lefts time - because people who care about the truth have to take the time to debunk. Then the fuckers turn around and say - “look at you protecting pedophiles” when you debunk their insane shit.

      The “big lie.”
