Newsom Fails

I think the tweet was deleted, but here's a screenshot.
His source: The New Republic on Nov 14th.
A city in Tennessee is using a recently passed ordinance essentially prohibiting homosexuality in public to try to ban library books that might violate the new rules.
Murfreesboro passed an ordinance in June banning “indecent behavior,” including “indecent exposure, public indecency, lewd behavior, nudity or sexual conduct.” As journalist Erin Reed first reported, this ordinance specifically mentions Section 21-72 of the city code. The city code states that sexual conduct includes homosexuality.
Here's the ordinance.
It doesn't say "gay."
Elsewhere in the ordinance, it does...
I mean, it DID say that. And, a month ago (Oct 19), the city council removed that word. The New Republic didn't seem to be interested in the update.
In fact, that ordinance dates back to 1949, and the city council REMOVED "Homosexual" from the ordinance.
New Republic, do better. You too, Gov Brylcreem.
