Iowa Republican: I don’t have to know what “LGBTQ” means to know that I’m against it

An Iowa state legislator who has essentially been on a crusade to promote stigma among LGBTQ youth admitted last week that he doesn't actually know what "LGBTQ" means. State Rep. Greg Heartsill was an avid proponent of an amendment that got tacked onto an appropriations bill last week, which would require written consent from parents or guardians for students to participate in any course relating to "human growth and development." The measure essentially turns public school sex education into an "opt in" situation (as opposed to opt out at parents' request), but goes well beyond that.
