He’s a bigot!

Not that this is a huge shock. Since it’s complete bullshit that these people are voting against worthy legislation with the welfare of small business in mind, there really is no other reason for anyone to hide this bill away. Why is it bullshit? Read my comment here.

Not only does it disgust me that this guy wants to legislate based on his religion, but also that he is incorrectly and arrogantly assuming  a higher moral stance built on the shaky foundation of his hate.

In a huge win for equal rights protection in the state of Delaware, SB 141 was voted to stay in committee on Wednesday, 6/20. I would like to give out special thanks to the following people:

Thurman Adams for having the strong moral fortitude for bravely assigning this bill to a committee that, not only had nothing to do with employment legislation, but also had enough opposition to the bill to ensure it never reached the floor. Good job, you disgusting bureaucrat!

John Still for his faith in the political process. “”This bill has now shown up in three different committees, some of which I haven’t served on, and it’s never gotten out. I’d say that shows the pro tem knows how to pick committees.” Let it be heard throughout the world that the skills of protecting a bill from the process of a democratic vote on the Senate floor is far more important to Mr. Still than equal rights in the workplace. This is a man of distinct and well-considered priorities.

Nancy Cook for keeping in touch with her constituents. “‘I am here to represent my constituents,’ Cook said. ‘I believe the majority of my constituents are opposed to the bill.’” It’s so heartening to hear that we have at least one Senator that believes she is in touch. A real woman of the people.

All of you, thanks so much for giving this piece of worthy legislation the hiding it deserves. All of you made yourselves part of what it means to be an American: making second-class citizens out of gays and lesbians. A worthier cause could not be imagined.

Oh and a special note of appreciation goes to Greenwood resident and former Delaware blogger Jordan Warfel.

“Gays are not made to sit at the back of the bus,” Greenwood resident Jordan Warfel said, calling the bill “socialism.”

Yes, gays and lesbians should not be unhappy about being refused the same workplace protections as other minorities, in fact, they should be thankful that we don’t treat them worse. Thanks, Jordan, for keeping your archaic and ignorant opinion out there!
