Iowa Republican State Rep. Greg Heartsill wants an amendment that requires parents to opt in for their children to attend conferences dealing with human growth and development. Heartsill, when questioned b Democratic Rep. Chris Hall, seemed not to know what the conference was and who sponsored it. Even more troubling that law already exists.

Heartsill replied:

I think there was a conference here about a month ago where there was some obscene material that was, uhh, that was presented to minor children, and not only were parents shocked at the material, but also administrators and teachers as well.

When pressed by Hall to identify the conference, Heartsill said, “The Governor’s Conference on LGBTQ Youth.”

Hall asked Heartsill what the acronym LGBTQ stood for, and Heartsill replied, “I think it varies from one, you know, one group to the next. I don’t know what all the … I don’t know … do you have the acronym?”

Hall later stated, “Some of this language is nothing but a potshot, in my opinion, at lesbian, gay, transgendered youth.”
