"Saturday Night Live" comedian Kate McKinnon summed up Hollywood's indignation at Florida's controversial new "Don't Say Gay" law on "Weekend Update."

"If the 90's were right and gay means bad, then this is the gayest law I have ever seen!" she said, pointing to the camera with a defiant head shake on an SNL episode earlier this month. "If you can't say it, you might as well sing it — gay, gay, gay!" The audience promptly joined in on a rhythmic chant of "gay" to the tune of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water."
