I am pleased to report that the Republican-led Kansas Senate decided this would not fly. Senate President Susan Wagle said on Thursday that a majority of the state senators in her party would not vote for the bill. They support traditional marriage, Wagle noted, however, my members also dont condone discrimination. Thank you for that line in the sand. It should be obvious, but somehow that was lost on the Kansas House. Instead of passing, as everyone predicted, the Kansas anti-gay bill will now, in all likelihood, quietly die without hearings or a vote. I give credit to the hue and cry raised by Stern and other critics, and to the rapid pace of progress on gay rights. Even in the remaining pockets of backlash, conservatives can see that there are lengths to which they can no longer safely go. Ive been thinking a lot about this quote from Adam Liptaks New York Times piece on the series of federal court decisions striking down state gay-marriage bans: It is becoming increasingly clear to judges that if they rule against same-sex marriage their grandchildren will regard them as bigots, Andrew M. Koppelman, a law professor at Northwestern, told Liptak. The legislators in Kansas who stopped short of passing this bill still think its OK to oppose same-sex marriage. Nevertheless, though their definition of prejudice differs, the point stands: They dont want to be seen as bigots, either. Thats how progress begins.
They'll come back with another version.
It IS Kansass, after all.

WOO HOO! Faggots can continue to FORCE their beliefs on others who have a religious reason to not do business with them! WOO HOO lets celebrate! Its only religious discrimination after all!
Hallelujah!
Sorry, girls, but please do continue with your anti-breeder legislation!

Does that mean the people of Kansas now accept homosexuality as normal?

That's a pretty damn big step for Kansas if you ask me
Does that mean the people of Kansas now accept homosexuality as normal?
Does that mean the people of Kansas now accept homosexuality as normal?
No - it means the people have no real say in their Government.
What do you think this is ? A Democracy or something !?
