After a packed chilly open that includes Putin apologists Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump, and Steven Seagal elevating cash for Russian oligarchs as a part of the “Fox Information Ukrainian Invasion Celebration Spectacular,” this week’s SNL Weekend Replace introduced on forged member Kate McKinnon, who's brazenly homosexual, to handle Florida’s deeply homophobic “Don’t Say Homosexual” invoice.
The laws, which lately handed Florida’s Home of Representatives, would ban “classroom dialogue about sexual orientation or gender id” within the state’s main colleges. The invoice, championed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, will now head to the GOP-controlled Senate the place it's anticipated to cross.
“I’m sorry to barge in right here… I heard about this legislation, and I believe it’s wonderful,” provided McKinnon, clearly in jest. “Once I was in center faculty within the ’90s, I used to be form of, like, tortured by the fixed use of the phrase ‘homosexual’—like, ‘That’s so homosexual’ or ‘Ew, you’re homosexual.’ It made me really feel so horrible. So, to listen to that Ron DeSantis has taken a stand and stated, ‘No! You can not say ‘homosexual’ in class anymore!’ I’m so jazzed. And in Florida of all locations!”
Weekend Replace co-anchor Colin Jost then felt compelled to appropriate the facetious McKinnon.
“I really feel like there’s been a misunderstanding,” he advised her. “The legislation really means which you can’t acknowledge that homosexual exists in any respect… lecturers can’t talk about homosexual folks in historical past or if a child has a homosexual member of the family… and if a child confides that they’re homosexual to a trainer, the trainer has to out them to their dad and mom.”
McKinnon was shocked, repeating what?! time and again, earlier than mocking the ridiculously hateful and regressive invoice.
“I'm deeply homosexual—sorry, involved. Deeply involved. It simply appears like that is gonna make youngsters homosexual and trans—sorry, depressed and suicidal—and I believe these legal guidelines are lesbians. Sorry! Unconscionable. Unconscionable,” cracked McKinnon. “I’m making an attempt to make sense of all this. Does this ‘Don’t Say Homosexual’ legislation have a function?”
Jost didn't have a solution. And with that, McKinnon closed out the bit by singing the phrase “homosexual” time and again to the tune of Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water.”
