It's almost the end of the legislative session, so I read this as a legit headline the first time...not that I'd put it past Abbott, Patrick, and the rest.
If their basing their childrens safety on the way people today dress, good luck with that. Pedophiles know what to wear, what to say to young children that will alay the kid's fears. Texas is setting themselves up for being the pedophlia capital of the country.
This story makes me wonder if it's true, but it's from the Onion so it has to be satire right? Still it seems the bill is something that Texas' "Hot Wheels" Governor would sign.
Think of the children-- the Republican's first priority. Well, not if they need medical care, or are hungry, or their parents need any kind of help, but guarding them from the influence of 'those people'? Crucial....
Define different! I might like to have pink hair. What about those ladies with the super long fingernails. Or eyelashes. What about men who wear SOCKS WITH SANDALS!?!?!!!? I hate people.

“Texas bans ‘being around you makes me uncomfortable’ after recent rise in people feeling uncomfortable in the Lone Star State. DC republicans plans to follow suit.”
Honestly, it took a bit for me to realize this was satire. The Texas lege and Gov. Abbott are completely capable of passing and signing such legislation.
Same! I had to read a little before I realized "Ahh, satire." But sad and scary we first thought it might be legit. Such crazy nonsense we see and hear from this asswipe regime.
As a journalist, and a marginalized influencer, I, Tay LaPeen, with the full support of all Team LaPeen associates, am going on the record today to state that Texas Governor 'Lil Greg Abbott makes me P.U. PUKE!!!
Can we ban evangelical preachers and church school leaders from having contact with children, along with a large number of priests? It sure seems that the arrests for pedophilia have mostly been from this group of individuals, not from the "different" sorts that the GOP wants to target.
Such legislation from the GOP is essentially gaslighting to misdirect the public into thinking the risk is not from the white christian nationalist crowd, but from their targets.
I really try to avoid the You Tube PUNDITS but like republicans and MAGA Mites they just keep flourishing...repeating the same old wag the dog tail...Here's an issue they would rather ignore...its known as the issue of the day...real news...SIGH , its so disgusting... ENTERTAINMENT- NOT NEWS.
Presumably this ban also includes using a wheelchair around children, thus ensuring that Greg Abbott is never seen with them again.

Take a look at Indiana: GOP supermajority, Braun, Beckwith, Banks, & House Repubs from Indiana are machinating away at here, but not being exposed by national news.

Thinks: oh shit, I couldn’t tell this was an onion article before I read it…
(Yes, I know it’s satire.)
Living in Houston, I am prepared for that whacko Governor of ours to do practically anything to ruin stuff for everyone
The Onion is quickly becoming prophetic

Reality has ruined satire.
