TALLAHASSEE, FL—Governor Ron DeSantis has signed into law a new bill called the "Only Say Gay If You Mean Lame" bill, which does just what it says: in Florida schools, you can now only say "gay" if you are calling somebody uncool.
"Here in the free state of Florida, 'gay' only means one thing: totally lame," said DeSantis in a passionate speech at the capitol building. "The rest of the country may be using the term to refer to all kinds of hogwash, teaching our schoolchildren terrible things, but here, we're only gonna say 'gay' to refer to stuff that's dumb, annoying, or mockable."
DeSantis then displayed a slide showing banned uses of the word "gay":
I am attracted to the same sex. Do you think I am gay?
The "G" in LGBTQ stands for "gay."
Neil Patrick Harris is so gay.
He also provided these examples of acceptable uses:
Check out those lame basketball shorts Mark is wearing. So gay!
Soccer is gay -- baseball and football are where it's at, fam.
Nickelback is so gay.
At publishing time, DeSantis had clarified that public school teachers could still use the word "gay" to mean "happy", as in the Flintstones song, "We'll have a gay old time", provided it's not used ironically or with a double entendre to mean people of the opposite sex being attracted to each other.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
