LGBT News Indiana GOP introduce LGBT rights bill, somehow make it worse than the RFRA

Republicans are mind numbingly stupid! Why these people are even allowed to reproduce is beyond me.

 

Geez, you would have thought Indiana Republicans would have learned a lesson after the last debacle, and all the boycotts...and yet the GOP seems fine with these bills that say, "OK, go ahead and discriminate." SCOTUS ruled on a very similar case in Colorado, Romer Vs. Evans.

I wonder why this case has not been mentioned in light of all these recent attempts to allow discrimination? It would seem very germane, but I have not heard mention of it.

 

I wonder if this is supposed to be some kind of a sick joke, or are they really this dense?

 

I find it hard to feel surprised when I hear about stuff like this. I'm confidant that in time there will be equal opportunity for all people regardless of orientation or gender identity but stuff like this makes makes that lofty goal a bit farther away than I'd hope.

 

Even my conservative relatives see this one as ridiculously stupid.
Honestly, this is beyond dumb.

 

Indiana! I am very disappointed in you, next door neighbor!

 

I saw the link yesterday to the announcement anddddd I didn't have time to read it but thought "oh, that's nice that we have an anti-discrimination bill..wonderful" - - - - although I thought it was weird.

My feelings were apparently right. I just see this as a political ploy. They can now go around saying "but we LOVE the gays, see! We protected them!" Good grief...

 

Indiana still behind on lgbt freedom, but they're probably ahead of the conservative memo: they're already sweeping us under the same rug like with blacks, pretending they understand the problem and creating back/under handed solutions.

 

I've never understood this whole trans bathroom controversy:

a. Most trans people are "straight" (they are attracted to the sex opposite to their transitioned sex) - yet conservatives also kick up a fuss about gay people in locker-rooms/gyms/the military because they are scared of "perving". So if they want gay people banned from same sex environments...why do they want a majority of heterosexual trans people in an "opposite sex" environments (i.e. straight transmen in women's bathrooms and vice versa). Which is that you want Republicans?! You cannot have it both ways!....
b. Unless they are calling for unisex or trans toilets...which they are opposed to aswell.
c. When they see passing transpeople in opposite sex environments they kick off anyway! "THAT TRANSMAN LOOKS LIKE A BLOKE, HE SHOULDN'T BE IN THE LADIES'!"

It is just so idiotic! Transpeople have to pee somewhere!

 

Again, glad I live in Massachusetts.

 

This makes me very sad.
