GOP Bigot Ed Jones: “I’m Going To Be Black All My Life… Gays Have Choices”

edjones1I’m going to be black all of my life. Proud of it. I don’t have a choice… Gays have choices.

When I heard people say this bill is about people who are being discriminated against like blacks were in the ‘40s and ‘50s with Jim Crow, it’s not true folks. I never saw a water fountain that said ‘Gays only.’ I never saw a restaurant refuse somebody for a meal because they were gay.”

Former Republican Colorado State Sen. Ed Jones, speaking against the state’s proposed civil-unions bill, at a rally in Denver. The bill is expected to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate and House.
