Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

Well that elevation will 100% fit in with all the daft stuff that is so regular over the pond. Pity it is a figment of imagination as you would be feeling at home on a land full of nutjobs.

Alexandre says it’s unconstitutional because the bill singles our one group, specifically people of one sexual orientation. She goes to say, it appears the government is giving preference to one religion. Alexandre calls it a deep entanglement and says, “When the government starts making laws that seems to give preference to particular expressions of religion versus none or religious interpretations of what’s acceptable under a religion then it seems that the government is involved in such a way that they’re making statements about religion or preference of religion.”

Congrats, Dawg. Hrm, another bill out up by "constitutionalists" that's destined to be found unconstitutional especially that part about it allowing county clerk to deny equal protection under the law as guaranteed by the Federal constitution.  Also note what Ole Miss Law Professor  Michele Alexandre says about :

So far, the bill seems to be in violation of both the First and Fourteenth Amendments. This thing is going down in flames.

Everybody's so educated these days.

Mississippi has among the highest rates of poverty and unemployment in the nation, not to mention obesity and other health issues. Yet LGBT people are what they focus on and are afraid of. What the hell is wrong with the leaders in that state, besides just being sick in the head?

Am I the only one with elementary school graduation on these forums? 

People will hate to hear it put this way, but the disease of the mind, Christianity, is the source of all of these problems. The homophobia stems from it without question; the long-winded garbage of Leviticus, and of course, the NT bloviation of Romans 1:25-32.

Even taking that into account, if someone takes the whole picture, the Scriptures speak stronger against oppression, corruption, unrighteousness, than against homosexual behaviour.

Hence, the focus on homophobia seems biased on purpose: it's much easier to make a speech against LGBTs than to fight for justice.

I will probably find out about my new owner, if any, on the next payday, if any.

I may have graduated from elementary school as well.  

The issue is government officals denying citizens setvice based on some religious objection, Howie. Do keep up. Yeah that law is going down in flames. Want to be a public servent, better be prepared to serve the public, many of whom will believe differently than yourself.

The point is for raccoon brain that queers have the same rights as anyone damn else
