    Advocates Mobilize to Stop Georgia's Anti-LGBT 'Religious Freedom' Bill: VIDEO

    Advocates Mobilize to Stop Georgia's Anti-LGBT 'Religious Freedom' Bill: VIDEO
    By Kyler Geoffroy

    http://www.towleroad.com/2015/03/georgia.html

    "Major local conferences have already threatened to move out of the state if the bill becomes law, including: American Society for Higher Education, American Academy of Religion, American Historical Association, German Studies Association, History of Science Society, Philosophy of Science Association, Society for Biblical Literature, and Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts.

    "MckoonState Sen. Josh McKoon (pictured), the chief proponent of the "license to discriminate" bill, called these economic warnings against the bill "nebulous" and claimed the bill wouldn't impact the economic interests of the state. He obviously hasn't been paying attention to the #BoycottIndiana backlash."
    ====================================
    Many thanks to Towleroad for this report. Suddenly it seems that lawmakers have gone stark raving mad. In their penchant to claim superiority and control over other citizens in the minority they have lowered themselves into a very destructive mode. These bills popping up across the U.S. by state legislatures attempting to denigrate the rights of LGBT Americans are deleterious to society as a whole. When we have to live with bigotry from the majority and have it rammed down our throats just because of their superiority complex we have lost our basic freedom to live a life as the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1. prescribes:

    "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

    Yet these egregious, denigrating laws championed by prejudiced, bigoted states go strictly against the Fourteenth Amendment as the Federal Courts and Appellate Courts have ruled across the nation. But it appears that states simply want to enact harmful, unlawful legislation that will be very costly to the taxpayers who then have to be placed in the position of defending lawsuit after lawsuit should these prejudicial laws pass.
    Let's see how much care and compassion Trump and Republicans show for their fellow Americans to truly help them out in their time of need.

    Let's start the count to see if Trump comes through on the many things he promised to do for Americans. If he doesn't, along with a Republican Congress, then what's his and their excuse?

    They can whine and moan all they want. The end result, equality, is inevitable.

    Stop it with the invisible threads.

    Be proud of your beliefs and put it all on displays.

    And I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree with the advocates on this one.

    I'm really sick and tired of people pushing their $#@! on to others and thinks that people don't have the right to say no to them.

    Discrimination is wrong, I completely agree, but there is also the tenth and first amendment as well.

    And it'
    s just so much hypocrisy.

    Remember liberals, if you have the right to do these things then people have the right to do these exact same things to you, that is push themselves on to you.

    And if you don't want that to happen, then you can kindly $#@! off with your hypocritical authoritarian bull$#@!.
