Over the top!
I heard this morning on the way into work that some city in Tennessee was trying to outright ban all gays. Anyone heard anything about this yet? I cant find anything on teh net. Im not sure they can even legally do that, can they?
Way over the fucking top. Wish I could remember name of the city atleast, hadn't had any coffee yet.

Re: Over the top!
Last night in a commercial a local news station mentioned the same thing. I dont watch the news so I can't tell you anything more. It was the Fox station in Houston, so maybe they have something on their website.Mort wrote:I heard this morning on the way into work that some city in Tennessee was trying to outright ban all gays.

I saw a report on CNN about it this morning. Apparently it is the same county that had a man arrested for talking about evolution. According to the report I watched the county legislature is requesting that the state legislature ammend some state law in such a way that it would allow them to make being gay illegal in their county.
I managed to find an article on CNN about it.

You want to see something even scarier. Take a look at the poll, in the woai link, on the right regarding whether the county has a right to ban homosexuality. It was 45.7% Yes to 54.3% No when I voted. I can see a small county in Tennessee trying to violate the constitution, but that poll is for people in San Antonio, a major city.

I guess the fact that it's the 9th largest city in the U.S. doesn't count for much. I guess it's the fact that 58% of the people are Hispanic, those people don't count eh? I also guess those 20 million people that visit each year are just really big fans of back-asswardness. I see ignorance isn't just found in Tennessee.
I will give you the catholic/Hispanic thing since in general most are very conservative. Still it surprises me that anyone would support an initiative like this.
