Well, the article is wrong.

Senate Leader Wagle said earlier that most Senators disagree with the bill and it likely won't even reach a final vote. She flat-out called the bill discrimination.

Smash - deleted my last post because this completely skipped my mind when I originally posted. Had it gone through, I was fully prepared on registering Independent. As it stands, I'm going to work to make a difference from within, but I'm a bit frustrated, to say the least.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that from a reasonable conservative... it's a recipe for frustration and self-hatred.

I think the sentiment is really changing among younger Republicans. I haven't ran into a single problem telling other members of College Republicans that I'm gay, and this is Kansas.

um... well, I wasn't trying to imply that... but Welcome out?

Even if such a bill did pass, it would be impossible to enforce because it's impossible to know what your patrons sexuality is if they come in to your business.

Many gays choose to flaunt their sexuality (it annoys me when they do, but I understand it's a free country), but perhaps a bill like this would encourage more of a global Don't ask Don't tell policy for everybody.

From a purely constitutional point of view, I don't see how this bill would violate any provisions because there's no federal protection against sexual preference

Um... what's your definition of 'flaunting'?

Wow, every gay guy I know, including myself do not as you would say "flaunt there gayness".  You are a sad excuse for a person.

I think to him flaunting means 'existing'

That and OK wanting to ban all marriage if gay people can be part of it... "You can't have gay marriage if there's no marriage!!!"

It's total panic stations - how long before we get Governors standing in doorways?

Difference is they packed the courts, so basically 99% of laws that doesn't conform to a lib worldview gets tossed now.

The UN observers were shocked to learn the US doesn't have a voter ID law.
What?

I don't have to show ID to vote, I'm registered.
