Last week, Florida passed a law banning teaching about gender identity and sexual orientation in public elementary schools.

A text dubbed the "Don't say gay" law by its detractors, including Mark Hamill.

In response, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in

Star Wars

posted a tweet in which he wrote the word gay 69 times as well as a rainbow emoji.

A post to which the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro then reacted, accusing Mark Hamill of wanting to “indoctrinate small children with the theory of gender and sexual ideology”.

"That's the only reason you stupidly repeat stupid propaganda," he replied to the actor's tweet.

And the reaction of Mark Hamill was not long in coming!

A conservative turn

“Hi Ben, I love mentalist shows that read minds!

Now guess which finger I'm raising…” retorted the Jedi who, obviously, didn't see fit to push the debate any further.

The anti-LGBT law passed this month in Florida is only one of the sides of a broad conservative offensive led by the elected Republicans of this State.

In February, a second law was passed, this time targeting the teaching, in public schools, of "critical race theory", according to which racism is part of a systemic logic in the United States and is not simply the product of individual prejudices.
