    The vague nature of all these “morality” laws the GOP is passing all across the country is very intentional. Vague draconian laws create an environment in society where people will no longer do what is still legal, and likely a clear personal freedom constitutionally, because they fear the vague law will apply to that aspect of behavior. It’s like the fact that no one will do studies on gun violence because a law was passed that any ‘‘anti gun political study’’ will have all funding pulled, so it’s up to the discretion of the people enforcing the rule to decide what that means, no one is willing to risk funding just to find out. Effectively it prevents all gun studies, even thought it world likely be unconstitutional to fully ban gun studies.

    This is why you see things like teachers fleeting Florida, the laws likely couldn’t be applied in most cases, but the teachers know they have a target on their back, and that the law could be used against them due to being vauge.

    This is the intent, to create fear in people to stop going about their legally protected actions.
