Original Note:
The colloquialism "Don't Say Gay" was originally coined by Tennessee state senator Stacey Campfield (R) in 2012, which he self-described as a "Don't Teach Gay" bill. Bills with similar or identical language have since been referred to by this colloquialism. https://www.politifact.com/article/2012/feb/05/examining-dont-say-gay-bill-sponsors-claims-about-/ FL HB 1557: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1557/BillText/er/PDF
