    It makes me sad at the amount of bills designed to discriminate specifically against LGBT people being put forward in the US.

    I think we are seeing these state bills because the RNC realized they lost the fight on the national stage so they are pushing their hatred down to the state level... At least they are downgrading from the national initiatives. Next they will be limited to local hate-mongering bills on a local/municipality level.

    I thought American Christians were a persecuted, powerless minority on the verge of being wiped out by gay fascists?

    And I can't be the only person creeped out by their obsession with other people's sex lives

    Somehow, they're the oppressed ones if they aren't oppressing others. Despite being the majority and in power everywhere, they're the oppressed ones if they can't kick a dude out of his home because they don't like him. I call bullshit.

    Don't even get me started, they already want to peek down everyone's pants as admission for the restrooms. :help:

    Question for the legal beagles: considering how specific and blatant the targeting in this bill is, does it therefore run afoul of Romer v Evans?

    Feels like they're trying to undermine the fact that gay marriage is now legal by passing these stupid laws... Progress makes them queasy.

    That's exactly what some of them are doing.
    A lot of them, I'd wager.

    I really feel sorry for anyone who isn't a straight, white Christian male who lives in Mississippi, it always seems to be stuck in the 19th century.
