WASHINGTON -- In wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in favor of same-sex marriage, Republicans are pushing legislation that aims to protect Americans who oppose these unions on religious grounds. But critics say the language is so broad, the bill creates a license to discriminate that would let employers fire women for getting pregnant outside of wedlock.

Of course it would. Of course. But, I want to know, when are we allowed to discriminate against people who wear mixed fiber clothing, because of religion? Or divorced people?

FUCK ALL OF THESE ASSHOLES IN THE EAR WITH A CHAINSAW.

Family values folks.

Oh good, let's go back to firing women when they get married too so they can be "keepers at home"

[jeaniebueller]

The bill specifically protects those who believe that marriage is between "one man and one woman" or that "sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage."

THANK GOODNESS this will be preserved. GTFO with this.

[meltoine]

Surely they'd be firing the unwed fathers of these babies too, right?

Oh wait.

This is too much emotion. You know all republicans aren't evil like this right? It's about the economy. Jobs jobs jobs. Don't be so shrill. It's just your gender under assault. When was that ever cause for alarm?

Dammit. I'm just going to go right back home and crawl into bed.

When will these fucks learn that they can believe whatever they want. They just can't discriminate. You can believe women shouldn't work, but you still have to hire them.

Also, get over it.

I did hear a promising thing on nor this morning. Some conservative Christian was saying that barbe organizations shouldn't apply for tax breaks because then they have to follow the ebil gubmint rules. Yes!

Welllllllllll, this bill only has a prognosis of 2%, according to Govtrack, so I'm not too worried. But I do think it's worth watching going forward, because I imagine these types of proposals will increase exponentially after the SCOTUS ruling.

Well yeah. It would never get passed Obama. But do you think any of the GOP POTUS contenders would feel similarly?

I'm positive Walker would sign something like this.

Considering he struck down a voted referrendum giving workers paid sick days, this is a safe bet.

I heard Mike Lee interviewed on NPR last week. He's in opposite world. Apparently America's greatest threat is bigots being discriminated against for their bigotry.
