Discussion: House Passes LGBT Amendment After Chaos Surrounding Measure Last Week

It’s about goddamned time! Thank you to the 43 RINOs for stepping up and doing the right thing. No doubt your sensible vote will cost you down the line with the rabid base.

I have a feeling that the 43 live in districts with little Teabagger rabble among the voters.

A big Thank You to those 43 House Republicans! Though it is obviously the right and moral thing to do, I fully understand the pressures you must be under to be mean assholes about this. Thanks for not going along with your mean asshole colleagues and (some of your) constituents. More of this, please!

Although it was a good and right thing to do to pass this amendment what is troubling is that they couldn’t sustain their ‘humanity’. They had to turn around and show what true aholes they are by supporting NC’s reprehensible ‘bathroom bill’. I just got back from a month in Europe and they handle (and REPORT) on issues quite differently. We look like whiney two year olds.

It is unfortunate that the large amounts of other amendments will require Obama to veto this bill. They are probably counting on that. Obama can’t sign a bill supporting NC, and tying his hands to deal with states that violate civil rights.

“except as required by the First Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, and Article I of the Constitution.”

The rest of the amendments and articles…meh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Republicans creating loopholes which only serve to confuse themselves.

This is why Republicans not only love but need activist judges.

Although some Republicans supported Maloney’s measure Wednesday night, they passed an amendment to Maloney’s measure saying that federal funds could not be used in violation of Obama’s LGBT order “except as required by the First Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, and Article I of the Constitution.”

sighhh

yeaa@the contradictions.

Repugs only did it as an amendment to an unrelated bill! Repugnant!

Sneaky bastards! Hide your women and children, or at least don’t let them go into the ladies rooms!

Anybody else notice that when the Lord sends tornadoes to America in reaction to gay marriage, He always sends them to states that outlaw gay marriage and never sends them to states that allow it? Maybe our Lord is in favor of gay marriage and is punishing “Christians” who oppose it.
