I'd think it depends on what was said. Re: 3rd graders or younger, the wording in the law is "instruct(ing)". "Can't say anything" is a pretty broad criteria. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere a gay teacher can tell students he/she has a same sex spouse. I also read there is no problem in having pics of same sex spouse on a desk somewhere.
But it is true there is a lot of ambiguity in the law, and hence my assumption there would be a lot of lawsuits to ensure the law treats straight, LGBTQ+ equally. I am truly surprised there hasn't been more lawsuits to challenge stuff. Maybe not an issue as it is being applied equally, or its not that big of a deal for most teachers, or maybe the opposition just isn't as well organized as it should be etc.
