God damn the whole ing Assembly and everyone in it except you, Franzl. Is this even constitutional? I'm sure we've got something in the Constitution banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
That's correct:
And I hope someone sues and gets this struck down.
But can someone explain me how this bill would violate this amendment???
In my view, the bill uses state funds to enforce the promotion of one specific sexual orientation; the comparable analogy would be if we had an amendment guaranteeing equality under the law and forbidding race-based discrimination, and then having a bill mandating that all schools give out white supremacist literature - not
forbidding the discuss of all race, but prohibiting giving out any literature to promote any race except for the mandatory white supremacist literature. It's certainly not something to stake your life on, but there's a legitimate case to be made that it violates the Constitution.
