Jesse Tyler Ferguson Responds To ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill On ‘The View’ | Modern Family‘s Jesse Tyler Ferguson joined the ladies of The View today to discuss Tennessee’s proposed “Don’t Say Gay” bill, as well as comments by state Rep. Joey Hensley (R) that parents should not let their kids watch Modern Family because they might learn that gay people exist. Ferguson called the legislation “ridiculous,” pointing out, “If we just don’t say things, it’s not like they don’t exist,” and that such rules stigmatize gay youth. The ladies also had a variety of perspectives to share. Watch it:
The Tennessee House Education Committee again delayed consideration of the bill today. (HT: Towleroad.)
