Wyoming GOPs Want Further "Protection" Against Married Gays
Propose Yet Another Bill Barring Nups

wyomingH.jpg
As if the Defense of Marriage act weren't enough to hinder homo-freedom, a group of Wyoming Republicans are pushing for legislation that will invalidate gay nups performed beyond "The Equality State"'s borders. Of the bill, GOP Representative Owen Petersen said:

I’m not supporting this legislation to cast aspersions or cause problems for anybody and their particular beliefs. But I do believe that it’s something we should go forward with and support for the betterment of our society.
We'll never understand conservative arguments that withholding someone's right to marry improves society. Maybe we slept too much in all those political science classes, but we've been taught that discrimination hurts society. Good thing we're not politicians, huh?
