Ann Kelley got caught in a spiral of her own design when fellow Missouri Republican Phil Christofanelli gave her the most basic grilling over the anti-LGBTQ bill she introduced.The “Don’t Say Gay”-style bill is intended to keep students from being taught anything about queer identities in classrooms.
