Wow. Just read the text of this thing. This is probably the worst of these I've ever seen. Supporters of this bill can't even use the old, "and a gay baker shouldn't have to make a wedding cake for a fundamentalist Christian, either" argument because this bill certainly does not provide for that. It literally only creates a totally one-sided right to discriminate against gay weddings.

The only silver lining is that Mississippi's refusal to even go through the motions of writing a facially neutral law means that there's a good chance SCOTUS could strike this down. Forget Obergfell, Romer v. Evans was supposed to put these kinds of laws to rest.
