Okay, assume you do want to have a discussion.
The article with the statute says this. If there is more that you think is relevant, please post.
Quote:
“The State of Florida has determined that it is a fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their minor children. The State has further determined that certain information relating to a minor child should not be withheld, either inadvertently or purposefully, from their parent, including information relating to the minor child’s health, well-being, and education, while the minor child is in the custody of the school district.”
“Further, district personnel are required to encourage students to discuss issues relating to his or her well-being with his or her parent or to try and facilitate discussion of the issue with the parent,”

As with the "Don't Say Gay" bill, the above is neutral and not pointed explicitly towards LGBTQ or heterosexuals. Me, as a parent, would want to know everything the school personnel knows about my child's "health, well-being, and education" and would definitely appreciate school personnel to "try and facilitate discussions of the issue with the parent".
What is wrong with this?
I'm assuming you'll provide some scenarios about LGBTQ kids not wanting to share their their challenges with school personnel if they know the school will need to inform the parents about this?
My scenario is if my child was feeling depressed, bullied, suicidal, approached school nurse about being pregnant etc. I would want the school to inform the parents.
