Idaho To Consider Gay Discrimination Bill?
Can you believe it?! Idaho – home to toilet trolling Senator Larry Craig – may soon debate a gay inclusive non-discrimination bill. State representative Nicole LeFavour celebrated the legislative move with a very special blog post.
On this day when we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Senate State Affairs Committee voted to print the first piece of legislation to mention sexual orientation, and to propose ending centuries of discrimination against gays and lesbians in employment, housing, education and public accommodation.Leslie Goddard, director of the Human Rights Commission beautifully presented the bill after an introduction by Senator Tim Corder, a major sponsor of the legislation.
…
Nothing, except giving thanks to those who vote well, is more important than dedicating ourselves to having positive, gentle interactions with legislators who are still on the road to understanding these issues and voting as we would wish.
The potential bill will rewrite 1968′s Human Rights Act and would prohibit businesses with five or more employees from discriminating based on sexual orientation. Religious organizations, however, would not have to abide by the law.
We simply can’t wait to hear how Craig votes – not that we’re expecting much…
Craig won’t vote, he can’t vote. He’s not a member of the Idaho state senate. He’s the U.S. Senator from Idaha.
oopsie, I meant idaho, not ha. hehe.
I don’t think that there are many businesses with over 5 employees in Idaho. There aren’t many people. Nonetheless, this should be sort of interesting. %60 of the population is Mormon. The issue keeps being thrown around in their Church. My brother lives there and he has a number of practicing gay Mormon friends. There are Gay people around. It probably doesn’t affect that many people, but is a step in the right direction.
Idahahaha would suit it better
There is no question how Larry would vote if he were so able. Getting busted, I think, was actually an empowering experience for him; it made him ballsier. He has been ridiculed beyond measure to the point where he had to go on national TV to say he went to the bathroom “for bathroom’s sake.” I’m sure Larry’s blood pressure is lower than, say, that of Lindsey Graham or Mitch McConnell.
