This is from the Yahoo article regarding that is actually inappropriately headlined "Anti-gay marriage bill wins Kansas House Approval."

quote:

The bill would prohibit government sanctions or anti-discrimination lawsuits against individuals, groups and businesses over faith-based refusals to recognize marriages, civil unions or domestic partnerships or to provide goods, services, accommodations or employment benefits to couples.

Supporters argue the bill would protect the rights of Kansans to adhere to their religious beliefs even if federal courts strike down the state constitution's ban on same-sex unions. They contend the measure is akin to protections for churches, religious groups and others in states where lawmakers have legalized gay marriage.



The response from the lgbt activist was this.

quote:

Equality Kansas State Chairwoman Sandra Meade decried Davis' response to a "blatant attempt to maintain second-class citizen status" for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Kansans.

"It's unfortunate that discrimination against LGBT Kansans is seen as a distraction for the Democratic leadership, rather than a call to action," Meade said in a statement.



So the first amendment rights be damned, according to Meade. You make her "feel like a second class citizen" if you do not follow her dictates. Meade is an anti-freedom, anti-liberty, intolerant, tyrannical bully that doesn't just want marriage, as I have told all, she wants your rights denied because of her "feelings."

People that argue that discrimination is wrong should never vote because voting is discriminatory. Of course, she's pro-discrimination and she wants it done with government force.

This is 100% ok by me. The SCOTUS hasn't made them a protected class and their state constitution doesn't forbid it. Private businesses should be able to refuse service to anyone.

This is another issue that could be avoided if the government could just get the frick out of marriage altogether.

Some animals are more equal than others should be in the minds of everyone when one of these cases crosses the horizon like the sun. The crowd of butt hurt people will never have enough of a dose od preparation H to deal with their burning sensation(think Biblically) they just want to increase the traffic on the wide road.

These people couldn't get served in a place of public accommodation either.

So its a pro-discrimination law.

Awesome.

Hey why not allow faith based deprivation of rights based on color? Yay let's go back to Jim Crow!

As long as this bill does not apply to the public sector and gov't services, I'm fine with this bill becoming law.

There should be no protected classes. The only argument I can see is handicapped and that's it.

And I support gay marriage.

These GOP idiots in Kansas remind me of a dying elephant. It's all over except for the bellows. They know marriage equality is coming. So what do they do? Pass this idiotic Turn Away the Gays Bill that is never going to stand up in court.

Just read that this bill is not going to pass the Kansas Senate. Less than half the Republicans support it and no Democrats will vote for it so it's dead.
