Except, the slogan "Don't say gay" was made up by people opposed to the legislation it refers to, and the actual legislation does not contain that line nor is it in any way representative of the contents of the bill. It looks like you might be a victim of misinformation (as was I, initially). You might be happily surprised if you read the actual legislation, at least I was, as a pro-LGBT rights person who was concerned based on misleading commentary about it I had read at first.

The "Patriot Act" was mostly increases to military and spying. The "Inflation Reduction Act" was mostly about domestic manufacturing and supply chain stability. Every political thing in America gets a misleading name by its sponsors and a different misleading name by its opponents.
