SB 150 makes it legal to discriminate against LGBT citizens of Kentucky. Here's how the bill gets around all those city ordinances.

Historical Conservatism: I don't like speedos, I won't wear one at the beach. If some other guy chooses to wear one, I don't care.
Modern Conservatism: I don't like speedos, I won't wear one at the beach. I think they should be illegal, and if I see another guy wearing one, I'll beat the holy tar out of him. I'll find out where he bought it and make sure the store goes out of business.

That's very perceptive and it runs pretty deep for some reason. My Republican parents have always been like this. When they don't like something, they hate it for a living. Health food stores? Penny arcades? Black leather? Sushi? Disco? They hate these things so much that they need everyone on their team. They don't understand how any of these types of things could possibly make money since they hate them so much. For real. They really think this. They are still mad that people eat Sushi. Cooked food ought to be good enough for them.

I remember as a child, health food stores were generally little Mom and Pop hole-in-the-wall establishments with organic food, herbal teas and juice bars. My Mom went there because she couldn't drink regular milk and had to drink Goat Milk. I always was allowed to order a drink of raspberry juice, coconut juice and papaya juice. Best juice drink ever.

Stop impeding on my religious freedom with your speedos. The bible says speedos are evil, that's why they never mention them. Thus speedos are immoral and should be illegal. Commandment #11 Thou shall not wear a speedo, mankini, banana hammock or thong. Unless thou is a female and only for the subservience of her husband.

Here's the good news (link below). Super Tuesday was an actual election for House seats in KY, and the Dems picked up seats and held onto control of the House. If the business interests make enough of a stink about this bill, that could give cover to enough Representatives to defeat the bill in the House - something similar happened in WVA - http://www.courier-journal.com...

Large-scale heavy manufacturers located in a particular place have invested a lot of money in factories, equipment and other fixed capital, and perhaps in worker training as well. They are the least likely of all business to move because they have invested more in being in a specific location and would lose their investment were they to move. Only firms who are undecided about whether to move into a particular area would be able to make a credible threat.

Everything you say is true, but these manufacturers also contribute to politician's election funds. They could direct their donations to another candidate with more moderate views.

Such heavy investors in a particular geographic area don't necessarily have to move to have a profound effect on things like elections. For instance, were such players of a mind to modulate the political climate, they could assemble their collective might and back more progressive lawmakers.

If protection was passed at the federal level for LGBT they would be screaming all day that they wanted to pass laws that govern themselves. But they are happy as can be to pass laws dictating how communities at a lower level have to live. They are liars and hypocrites. None of their expressed principles matter. All they care about is forcing their beliefs on everyone and making everyone live the way they want them to. It is about a desire for authoritarian rule.

exactly, everything else is just an argument of convenience for them. see also their demand that marriage be lest up to the states....and yet even when states pass it either by the legislature or by the voters they still oppose it. their supposed principles about how things are done change depends on what works best for them at the moment.

Republican definitions of "federalism" translate to control at the state level. Cities, counties and municipalities are all at the mercy of the state houses - but national-level agenda items are easily thwarted. It's Confederacy 2.0. So they can simultaneously resist federal protections and suppress local protections while remaining consistent with their philosophy.

Thank you Kentucky, we thank you for your strong support of religious liberty. We shall be opening multiple Temples of Baccus in various towns around your beautiful state. Our temple refreshment services featuring various blessed alcohol drinks will be by ordained mixologists 24/7 , 365 days a year. By the way, the Temples will be employing blessed Temple whores for various rites. We encourage members of the legislature to bring their spouses and families while attending our outdoor festivals celebrating all forms of sexual pleasure. Sex being one of the many high sacraments of our ancient religion. You will have no problem finding a Temple near you since we will have numerous billboards as part of our outreach ministry. Obviously, all services are clothing optional since nudity is another sacrament.

What a happy coincidence! My Temples of Ganymede will ALSO be opening soon, with our holy rituals comprising gay orgies, sacred hallucinogen use, and whatever else we can think of. Maybe our churches can do some ecumenical events out in the community together! With any exciting new religious movement, outreach is key. Let's help each other out!

It wasn't constitutional in Colorado and it won't be constitutional in Kentucky.
The ACLU needs to sue the second it's signed and demand that its implementation be held off until SCOTUS can hear the case. If it was good for marriage equality laws then it's good for anti-gay bigot laws.

The plain language of the Kentucky bill is clearly distinguishable from that of the Colorado constitutional amendment (which was stricken down in Romer v. Evans). There might be other grounds to invalidate the KY bill, but not under Romer.

I have a twitter account, which I got primary so that I could easily follow some people whose tweets I saw referenced, like @LOLGOP, @igorvolsky, @JoeMyGod, @knightktm, @ColMorrisDavis, and @BettyBowers. From there I kept finding other interesting people, and so now follow about 100 accounts. It's actually too much for me to read so I don't catch everything people tweet.
I think it is a good way to keep up to date with stuff, and catch some amusing things.

- State laws promoting Christianity over all other religions will be going to SCOTUS
- The rights of children not to be indoctrinated with false science such as climate change denialism, creationism, and all sorts of neo-Luddite nonsense (like denying needed medical care to children based on irrational parental religious beliefs) will be going to SCOTUS

SB 150 makes it legal to discriminate against LGBT citizens of Kentucky. Here's how the bill gets around all those city ordinances.

Who wrote that gobbledeegooky shit? That wording would allow any bigoted, racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic asshole to ignore Supreme Court rulings, the Civil Rights Act, and every other Federal law respecting the right of persons to live equal under the law! How the hell did this even get past legal review?

Yeah - the home of the Kentucky Derby and some of the biggest horse breeders on the planet. I may be a Nebraska farm girl, but even I know you don't fuck with those people. Only thing more lawyer'd up than Kentucky horse-people is the Vatican at a Child Protective Services hearing. They're not stupid - they're evil. That wording is purpose built, and we'll be only the first to feel the jackboot. Remember I said that - I'm wearing my Delphi panties today.

A bill very similar to this was recently killed in West Virginia. The House version would have voided municipal LGBT protections, but it was amended in the Senate in a way that effective ruined any chance for passage. Hopefully the Kentucky House will use a similar strategy.

I know you're snarking, but I'd honestly want the reverse - that any church or business that intends to use the law to discriminate against any citizen must post it visibly where all potential customers can see it.
If they want to declare they have a right to discriminate, they don't have the right to hide that fact.

Thanks. It is a Celtic Boar. I am part Irish decent and the boar features in my family coat of arms. I like this one in particular because it subtly incorporates the colors of the rainbow in the motif. I've also read that in ancient Celtic culture, the higher one was in the hierarchy of society, the more colors one was allowed to wear. So Kings and Bards could wear 7 colors, and the number diminished the further down the hierarchy you were. All in all, this particular image ties together multiple threads of my identity.

The best way to let the world know our wrath would be to stop working. Every LGBT person and allies call off one the same 2 days and they will see just how much we do. When this country slows to a crawl because 30% of the working population stopped working in retaliation, it may just get the attention it needs to pass a federal law of protection covering everyone.
The problem is we can't get a group of LGBT people to agree and follow thru on anything except a party.

I'll say it again... how about instead of fighting these crazy religious 'freedom-to-discriminate' laws, we take another approach. Pass the laws that guarantee your citizens the right to discriminate as required by key tenets of your faith... but you have to legally PROVE that your faith requires that discrimination. Deal?
I'd love to see the evidence supporting the legal argument wherein Christians will go to Hell if they sell a cake to a same-sex wedding... and the counter-argument would be a slam-dunk victory.

They couldn't even prove that Christianity has a problem with homosexuality in a court of law if they tried. The Bible itself would actually be put on trial in front of an unbiased judge, there is no way that judge would rule that the Bible condemns homosexuality because the "Divine" only condemns homosexuality in the old Testament, and the old Testament laws rules and ceremonies no not apply to Christians any longer. In fact Paul makes this very clear in Galatians. and the person who nullified the old Testament was Jesus himself – even though he said he was here not to take away the old ways and the old law – he did it anyway
Nowhere in the new Testament does God or Jesus reclassify homosexuality as sin or abomination
the only people who speak negatively of it are human beings are not the divine
But you still have these hard-core Christian is that followed the old Testament, but they are hypocritical because the only follow the parts that they want to make hypocritical and we can excuses for the parts that they don't wanna follow

Makes sense, but unfortunately the Supreme Court decoupled "has to make rational sense and be provable" from protected religious rights. Even though contraceptives do not cause abortions, the majority SCOTUS ruling in the Hobby Lobby case said it didn't matter what the reality was, they elevated false beliefs to the level of a religious belief not requiring any sort of affirmative proof whatsoever.
By extension, you could even say weird shit like, "My Catholic beliefs require me to celebrate my Sabbath on Saturday" -- even though that belief is not part of Catholicism at all and in fact contrary to its teachings.

I get it, but we all know there's a limit there. Demanding that my faith requires me to have a window office because our faithful need 8 hrs of sunlight per day in order to feel spiritually connected would surely result in me having to 'prove' that claim in some contentious legal battle... as did faiths seeking exemption from laws against the use of ceremonial hallucinogenics. Right?
Abortion is a great example, also, seeing as the Bible actually prescribes abortion as the test for an unfaithful wife. Pretty clear that there is no 'right to life' in the Bible... fetuses are totally expendable.

The Bible and Jesus didn't make Albert Robinson a hate mongering bigot. He did that all by himself.
If Kentucky wants to prostitute Jesus and the Bible in support of reptilian bigots, then the IRS ought to end the tax-exempt status of every church that supports this.

With shrill notes of anger and mortal alarms,
The double-double-double beat,

Cries hark! Hark! Cries hark the foes come!
Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge!
'Tis too late, 'tis too late to retreat!
Charge 'tis too late, too late to retreat!

This law makes the dubious claim that no court can overturn it, however courts can always overturn legislative law on constitutional grounds. That's the primary reason they exist.
The wording of this law is also exceedingly vague, and it makes no reference to the rights of the recipients of an "activity provider." Is the "right to discriminate" a protected right? This seems highly dubious. It would not surprise me if this law was overturned in either state or federal court, if it is passed.

It reminds me of a law they wanted to pass in Texas, where they insisted no court would be allowed to declare it unconstitutional or rule against it in any way.
That's absolute BS--our system doesn't work that way.
I'm SICK of the right pretending the Constitution doesn't exist or that they--like the GOP Senate--can just violate it, at will.

I recall an article of something similar in Wisconsin ... after environmental groups and others protested that a bill would destroy the environment, and they'd sue, the legislature amended the bill to state that as they "knowingly" voted for a bill that would allow a project to go forward, and knew that there would be vast amounts of environmental damage ... they opposition couldn't sue.
I'm not sure what happened after that ....

Some law has been passed in Ohio which makes it impossible for authorities--their auditor general, in particular, if that is the correct title-- to look into what the GOP state government has been doing, turning over taxpayer funds to corporations as a form of "investment."
It was challenged in the state supreme court, which has been corrupted by GOP appointments. The "justices" said the law was just fine--a law which makes it impossible to investigate likely corruption is JUST FINE.
This is Kasich's Ohio--it's a law HE wanted and got through the legislature.
With the neo-fascist GOP in charge of more and more state and local governments and perhaps taking control of all branches of the federal government next January, it won't be long before this country is as CORRUPT and ROTTEN as Putin's Russia.

From The Washington Post:
The system will be shut down at least for one full, 24-hour ridership cycle, from midnight Tuesday to midnight Wednesday, and then for another 5 hours until the regular opening at 5 a.m. Thursday.
They took the step after an electrical fire in a Metro tunnel early Monday, which caused huge delays on three subway lines, involved the same type of track-based power cables that burned during last year’s fatal Yellow Line smoke incident in another tunnel, the transit agency said.

It sounds like it's crafted to avoid that, but whether it works or not will depend on the courts.
Romer overturned an Amendment that specifically singled out LGBT people for discrimination - it said no entity smaller than the state could pass any LGBT protections - and made it impossible for them to seek redress.
This doesn't single out the target group for discrimination and doesn't prevent localities from passing LGBT protections. It just guarantees that such discrimination will be legal and that the localities can't enforce their own laws.
The solution is for the courts to (finally) declare that we are a suspect class and that laws arrayed against us must pass intermediate (like sex) or strict (like race) scrutiny. Then minority sexual orientations become a protected class.
But even if they don't go that far, they may split the baby yet again and declare that while religious ceremonies and church membership are a "protected right," picking and choosing who not to do business with is not.

CC&7 is nice, but if tequila's healthier, well viva tequila!

I was making a lame joke regarding the liver flukes. But years of living and traveling in Mexico exposed me to what a good tequila is and isn't. Honitos isn't the most expensive, but you'll find it pleasant tasting and easy to consume. The time I spent in Oaxaca taught me that the Mescal is it's own drink with as many variations and subtleties as expensive pinot noirs. When I worked as a bartender we kept a bottle of chap Mescal around for those slow afternoons when we needed to work up some entertainment among the customers. The cheap stuff was truly rot gut. But there are many brands of Mescal which make expensive single mated scotches taste horrible. Love the smokiness and fragrance.

Yeah, those Mescals are smokey and fragrant alright. First time I sipped some it brought a sausage to mind. In D.F. one autumn afternoon we stopped to buy some pulque. A young woman, english speaking, tried to take it away from us, saying it was no good. I could tell she was one of those over educated students who recognize visitors and wanted to impress but was mostly showing some self culture loathing. We talked to her for awhile, while playing tug-a-war with the bag of pulque, and sure 'nuf she was German-Mexican strong headed opinionated know it all. Probably the only ambivalent encounter I ever had with a native Mexican.

Gluttony is a terrible sin according to the bible. I want to open a donut shop in Kentucky and bar fat people from being served. And just exactly how are they supposed to find out if they're gay or not? Is there some kind of blowjob test or something? Are they going to search for people on Grindr just to make sure? And what about bisexuals? Do they get served but for only half of the amount straight people get? (sigh)

So the key point of defense is to ensure that this does not pass in the house, let keep up the pressure there.

BREAKING: Kentucky Senate Votes 22-16 To Repeal All Local LGBT Rights Laws In The State
March 15, 2016 Civil Rights, LGBT News


Moments ago the Kentucky Senate voted 22-16 to approve a bill which would overturn all local LGBT rights laws in the state. Cities with LGBT protections include Covington, Danville, Frankfort, Lexington, Louisville, Midway, Morehead, and Vicco. Democrats have a slim 53-47 majority in the Kentucky House, but if the bill passes there, anti-gay Gov. Matt Bevin will surely sign it.

I don't understand how people can live with themselves with so much hate in their hearts. What is wrong with these fucking people? Your LGBT family member, and/or neighbor, and/or co-worker having the same rights as you harms nobody.

They think religious freedom means you can discriminate against any minority you find "ungodly", and gays always seem to fall in that category because Jeebus and buttseks.

See this crap?
 This is what the folks on our side who say they will sit at home if their candidate doesn't win are willing to subject people to.
Because at some point, these laws ARE going to pass and end up at SCOTUS.
 And you can be sure a Republican controlled SCOTUS will be more then happy to uphold these laws until the cows come home.
 Vote Blue this fall no matter what.
 Otherwise you are in fact okay with making LGBT people suffer from garbage like this.

This has been my argument and the response I get is that this is not just a one issue election, spoken with the cognitive dissonance that rejects that a conservative SCOTUS will strike down challenges to these laws and uphold challenges to our civil rights.

It's also why I'm run out of patience for so many of the Bernie or Bust folks or the others in the past who have wanted a "pure" candidate.
 Other people don't have the luxury of watching everything burn because they didn't get their guy/gal as the nominee and because he or she is not as far to the left as we want them.
 They will suffer and trust me, they will NOT respect the viewpoints of those who think it's the only way to make change.
 Our far left is no better then the Tea Party, they truly aren't.

I've argued with some Bernie or Bust folks who have told me, if Bernie doesn't win--and it forces them to either not vote or to support Trump--it's the fault of people who vote for Hillary. I've got to hope this is an extreme minority of people.

Attention Dems: whether you support Bernie or Hillary....THIS IS WHY it is IMPORTANT to vote for whichever of them is in the GENERAL election in November. Hell, I was a HIllary Supporter, and I voted for Obama because it was IMPORTANT not to have McCain/Palin elected. It is JUST as important today to not have Trump or Cruz elected. It honestly should not matter which Democrat is the candidate...vote for them...do not divide or Trump or Cruz will conquer

I wish we fair-minded progressives were more aggressive in naming these things. Sad to admit, but the "bad" guys do such a great job of it, which always put us on the defensive.

I got directions to the Blue Ridge Parkway from a very nice young man at a Fifth Third Bank branch in Asheville, NC. When you're a stranger, how you are treated in a business says a LOT about an area. I was treated like a human being for all I was wearing turquoise Crocs and a bright yellow Palm Springs t-shirt. Glad to hear that my first impression of their work culture was correct. By the way, I had to ask: seems like back in the 1800's there was a merger and the 5th Bank of whatever merged w/ the 3rd Bank of whatever and the name reflected their sizes at the time. Nobody ever wanted to change it after that.

I always find it ironic, when these bills come up. These are the SAME people that accuse the Federal Gov't of overreach when ever a law comes along that seemingly limits State's rights, but they have no problem limiting local municipality rights...the hypocrisy is ASTOUNDING!

So, if Kentucky is going to advance a putative right for landlords and local businesses to discriminate, what's this going to do for, say, same-sex married couples transferred to Ft. Campbell or Ft. Knox? At some point Uncle Sam is going to get a bit perturbed.
For one thing, Uncle Sam pays a Basic Allowance for Housing to military personnel and families and may not want to be subsidizing local prejudices.

Hmm, I thought these folks liked small, local government best. Shouldn't the state allow municipalities to enact protections as they see fit? Or does "closer to the people" only apply when talking federal vs state, not state vs city?

Time to start suing for discrimination on the basis of religious belief. Let's see them repeal that.

The renovation of Covington, a suburb across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio, was LED by gays. Now there's a thriving business and dining/entertainment district with variety, and the value of property has increased significantly. In other words, gentrification by industrious gays buying and renovating dilapidated properties.

LIVE VIDEO: Kentucky Senate To Vote On Overturning All Local LGBT Rights Ordinances Statewide
March 15, 2016 Civil Rights, LGBT News


Watch live here. Just in from Fairness Kentucky:

Senate Bill 180, Senator Albert Robinson’s “License to Discriminate,” is set for a vote by the full Kentucky Senate this afternoon. SB180 narrowly cleared the Senate Veterans, Military Affairs, & Public Protection Committee two weeks ago, when the bill’s sponsor admitted his intent is to undo LGBT discrimination protections in eight Kentucky cities that have approved them. Those cities include Covington, Danville, Frankfort, Lexington, Louisville, Midway, Morehead, and the Appalachian town of Vicco. This “License to Discriminate” removes local control from these and other municipalities.
Senator Whitney Westerfield has filed a floor amendment to SB180 which purports to narrow the overly broad religious exemptions carved out in SB180. In reality, the amendment does little to nothing to protect vulnerable Kentuckians from discrimination under this law. States that have passed similar legislation have experienced serious economic harm. A recent report from Visit Indy revealed a $60 million loss in tourism and convention dollars from Indiana’s similar law. Nearly 200 local employers in the Kentucky Competitive Workforce Coalition—including Brown-Forman Corporation, Humana, Fifth Third Bank, and more—are publicly backing statewide LGBT discrimination protections, which SB180 seeks to subvert.
At this writing the Senate is dispensing with routine business. It’s not known when #SB180 will be called.
