Mississippi pass most anti-LGBT bill to date

[Coyote]

What Tommy and PinkNews seem unable to fathom is that even people who don't celebrate everything LGBT have rights too. In essence, this bill protects the right to not jump for joy every time someone waves their genitals around in unique and nontraditional ways.

If discrimmination is a "right" then why does this bill limit the right to discrimminate to just LGBT people? Why not blacks? Jews? Women? Native Americans?

That's the job of liberals
They hate everyone
Bigot

Are you claiming they are equal opportunity haters but you guys are discrimminatory haters?

Where's all this liberal legislation?

 

[Coyote]

Again it is a question of how limited Mississippi is in protecting religious freedoms. You can claim religious objection to gay weddings but you cannot claim religious objections to mixed race weddings, interfaith weddings, marriage of divorced people or a marriage of a pregnant woman

Hypocrisy

None of them are perversions. If it was the wedding of a man and his goat you would be closer.

This is about states protecting religious convictions. Why are only religious convictions against gays protected?

Which other religious convictions are under assault right now?

There is nothing in Christian doctrine that says you can not treat gays as you would any other people. Isn't it Christians that always say "hate the sin, love the sinner"? Somehow, the "love" part has gone missing in this current onslaught of legislation legalizing open discrimmination of LGBT people.

There is nothing in Christian Doctrine that says that Christians have to commit a sin to make gays comfortable either.

What sin, specifically, are they committing?

Mississippi pass most anti-LGBT bill to date

It claims that the law could see a woman fired from her job for wearing trousers, a counsellor on a suicide line refuse to speak to an LGBT teenager or even an adoption agency refuse to place a child with a family because the parents lived together before they were married.

This is lunacy on a majestic scale.Is the South so far behind the civilised world ?

How TIGHT are those jeans?

This can easily bring back something t hat I had personal experience with.

In the 80s, there was a decision to add AIDS education to the Alabama public school curriculum. I applaud that. There was nothing pro or con about homosexuality. But, apparently, the powers that be foresaw a specific question being asked. A female student at the high school in Tuscaloosa asked "I heard you can't get AIDS from oral sex. Is that true"? The only answer the teacher was allowed to give when asked any question about oral sex was "Oral sex is illegal in the state of Alabama". So this naive young woman walked out thinking she was "safe" from HIV is she only performed oral sex.

...and I am sure she moved on to be a distinguished cheerleader and dropout at the University of Alabama.

Approving of homosexuality and participating in an event celebrating homosexuality.

So don't go to Mississippi. See that was easy, no?

Mississippi's terrible reputation has been one of its greatest blessings...the Aggrieved Groups and Loons stay away in droves.

No Asshole from New Jersey or New York has moved to Mississippi in 60 or more years.

Its a beautiful place filled with charming people. The Legislature passes a "Red Meat" bill every few years that reminds people in New Jersey and New York that they want to be sure never to go near Mississippi.

And the winner is: Mississippi

 

[Iceweasel]

For one, it's an agricultural state relying on cotton and chicken. It has the lowest per capita income of any of the 50 US states.

Except you can live large in Mississippi on $50k a year. In NYC you'll be sharing a studio apt.

Yeah, but who wants to "live large" in Mississippi?

You know nothing about the state except what bigots tell you. Why do you want to live dumb anywhere?

Current discrimination? All this is very very recent and even now only public accomodation laws have forced Muslims, Jews, Christians or anyone that has strong moral feelings about genders (like almost all Democrats did one election cycle ago). So now we are supposed to believe it was this way since say one and Christians have imposed draconian laws of bigotry?

Nor do you really understand their position, which shouldn't need a religious opt out anyway. No one that I've heard has denied selling a homosexual/transgender/whatever any food or service apart from something gay related. If someone doesn't want to make a gay themed banner at their sign shop that's their right, unless PA forces them to do so. There's nothing in Christianity that forces people to perform services against their will so you have quite a double standard there.

Again, and I know it's VERY hard, relationships are not citizens. Relationships do not have rights enumerated in the Constitution. That includes polygamy, incest or whatever comes next.

Poorest state in the union

But you may be poor but at least you can still openly hate fags

Me thinks I should get into the closet building business as I see a growing need coming soon.

All these fags will need a place to call home again

Mississippi just got smacked down on their anti gay adoption law! HRC Condemns Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s Statement of Support for LGBT Adoption Ban

Mississippi just got smacked down on their anti gay adoption law! HRC Condemns Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s Statement of Support for LGBT Adoption Ban

From your own post which you linked:

U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan issued a preliminary injunction against the ban, citing the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide last summer. The injunction blocks Mississippi from enforcing its 16-year-old anti-gay adoption law.

The Supreme Court ruling “foreclosed litigation over laws interfering with the right to marry and rights and responsibilities intertwined with marriage,” Jordan wrote. “It also seems highly unlikely that the same court that held a state cannot ban gay marriage because it would deny benefits — expressly including the right to adopt — would then conclude that married gay couples can be denied that very same benefit.”

The issue will be appealed. Gay adoption strips children of their former right to both a mother and father per the marriage contract. They as a demographic who share in marriage, were not consulted, nor had representation in this radical change to marriage where they are concerned.. New York v Ferber...

Why aren't children consulted about divorce or remarriage?

Ignore her....It's useless.

 

[Silhouette]

Why aren't children consulted about divorce or remarriage?

Because their implied share of the marriage contract is "mother & father". And, in divorce, states reluctantly grant them but always manage to strive to their limit to keep the kids in contact with both mother and father...essentially not granting a full divorce until the children are of age. Remarriage, should it be normal, providing both a mother and father, fits their contractual enjoyment also. So there's no legal conflict.

Gay marriage, in contrast, strips children even of the hope of EVER having either a mother or father for life, putting them at a disadvantage to their peers and suffering mentally.

You realize that none of your pseudo-legal gibberish regarding 'New York v. Ferber' nor your delusions about the 'marriage contract' will have the slightest impact on any court case....including this one.

Right?

Doesn't answer the question does it?

Kids are impacted more from divorce than by same sex marriage. same sex marriage improves their standard of living

Got news for you.....children of gay parents will never have a parent of the opposite sex
