Excellent, can't wait for your review! Bobby Cohn (talk) 18:38, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

A lot of single-sentence paragraphs. Consider combining some to make the lead look a bit cleaner. My recommendations: Add "Additionally, the parental rights movement..." into the second paragraph and the last two can be merged and reworded into one sentence.
Done, though alternatively. Worth a recheck as I went what I thought went together, which were generals aims/goals, and then start/spread/reaction. Open to further remarks. Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:16, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"preventing" → "to prevent".
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:01, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Add a comma after "without disclosing to".
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:01, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Capitalise "governor".
Done, also done throughout the article, with respect to other Governors as well, and in image caption. Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:01, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After "LGBT activists", ref 7 is shown before ref 4.
Reordered. Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"indoctrination" → "the indoctrination".
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The word "abusive" doesn't feel right given the article's content, maybe "homophobic" or "unaccepting".
Done: "unaccepting". Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:16, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take a closer look at this when we examine sources, but this lead possibly violates WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY as refs 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 are all used once. 5 and 6 are passable, but no mention of the content discussed in 8, 9, and 10 in the body of the article is a problem as it is a key concern of this bill.

Definition

"The phrase "parental rights" ... affiliations" This doesn't add to the definition and seems a little biased, it can be cut.
"The modern ... similar movement in the 1990s" What movement? This could use a little more explanation. Also this sentence can be merged into the rest of the previous paragraph.
I think to warrant its own subheading, the media responses section could be expanded a bit. There are many interpretations of this movement and this section could use more viewpoints.

United States

LaToya Baldwin Clark is a red link.
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"at least the 1990s" reword.
"...led to many conservative Christian parents" remove "to".
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"In 2022, the US state of Florida ... government reach into schools" Merge into one paragraph, also add citations after sentences using quotes.
Capitalise "senator".
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Capitalise "governor".
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the lead, "Don't Say Gay" is italicised and here it is quoted.
Done. Italicized throughout. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Canada

"At the time" remove and attribute the quote "parental rights clause".
"home schooling" → "homeschooling".
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"introduced policy" → "introduced a policy"
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"by Wab Kinew's New Democratic Party." No citation after the paragraph ends.
Added citation. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"— and" remove the space.
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"schools should leave LGBT issues to parents" reword, reads a little informally.

Europe

Remove red links.
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"as Irish" → "as the Irish"
Done. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Impact on LGBT children

This section's title would be more appropriate if named "Impact on LGBT youth", as teenagers are more likely to be impacted by this bill.
Done, I really like this suggestion! Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:44, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"A result of parental rights-focused policies is that forcibly outing individuals can exacerbate issues such as depression, anxiety, and self-esteem problems, potentially leading to long-term emotional scars and negatively impacting their overall quality of life." feels repetitive as the previous sentence talked about similar topics. Merge the sentences if possible.
