Then There's Kansas

The attempts to marginalize the GLBT community is just astounding.  It seems like we can't go a week without another attack - and I'm just talking legislative attacks.  Kansas's house of Republicans overwhelmingly passed a bill that would effectively "empower[s] any individual or business to refuse to interact with, do business with, or in any way come into contact with anyone who may have some connection to a gay civil union, or civil marriage or … well any “similar arrangement” (room-mates?)".  Yup.  Overwhelming majority.  The good news is there's no expectation the Kansas Senate will take up the bill and/or pass it.  However, the fact that this is not only proposed but overwhelmingly passes a chamber of the Kansas house, well... I'll just leave that where it is.
