KY GOP Amend Anti-Bullying Bill To Allow Bullying Of Gay Kids
Republican Representative Mike Harmon has just amended a bill which would have prohibited bullying in schools based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The amendment states that kids who bully for religious reasons are exempt, as long as they aren’t violent.
Utterly pitiful, hopefully Kentucky will reject this ridiculous argument as easily as Utah did when Paul Mero and Sutherland Institute’s chunky flunky, Representative LaVar Christensen, tried to make the same amendment to local workplace and housing protections.
The amendment essentially legalizes bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender children, who will have no defense against bullies in their school unless the bully throws a punch.
[…]Absolutely sickening.
The GOP and GLBT+ rights don’t mix. It’s as clear as day.
Whatever happened to kindness and love in religion?
