[petition] Overturning House Bill No. 2453 (kicking gay ppl out of kansas)

"In Kansas, they are voting to decide if we count as people enough to have all of our basic rights respected. There is a bill out, you can read it here, that is so disturbing as to be vomit inducing.

It is saying, literally, if you claim religious beliefs, you can fire someone for being gay. You can retract their loans.

Kick them out of school.

Kick them out of their homes. Including foster care.

It's saying that not only do you not have any legal recourse, but if you try to bring them to court you have to pay for their legal fees. It says that despite the massive discrimination against LGBT people, they don't deserve legal protections because someone's religious views are more important then people's lives."

this petition only needs another 2000 signatures

i thought it would be something you guys would be interested in

Even if this passes, it will not survive federal judicial review.

Yeah, even Scalia wouldn't be stupid enough to not put that genie back in the bottle and throw it into the sun. Thomas would be, though.

Someone's pushing for one in AZ, too. When I first moved there in 1998, AZ had a very live and let live attitude and reputation. Since then, though, the Mormons have been trying to exert more influence.

ok. never mind then.
