"Saturday Night Live" didn't shirk from taking on Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill as Kate McKinnon addressed it on Weekend Update.

In the segment, the Insider reports, with co-anchor Colin Jost, the 38-year old McKinnon initially seemed a bit confused about what the "Don't Say Gay" bill was.�

"I heard about this law, and I think it's amazing," the out comic said. "When I was in middle school, in the '90s, I was kind of tortured by the constant use of the word 'gay.' Like, you know, 'That's so gay,' or 'Ew, you're gay.' It made me feel horrible."�

"And in Florida of all places!" she added.�

"Formerly known as the�Parental Rights Education bill, it would ban discussions about sex and gender in Florida's primary schools. It also encourages parents to sue schools or teachers who address the subject," writes the Insider.

It has the support of Florida governor Ron DeSantos, who defended the bill last Friday to a group of students,
