N.H. Bill Would Allow Discrimination Against Gay Couples

[William769]

A bill is being considered to allow business owners to discriminate against gay couples getting married in New Hampshire.

The state house judiciary committee is considering the bill Tuesday, which allows a business owner or employee to refuse business to any couple if they feel providing goods and services services related to the couple's wedding would violate their religious beliefs. According to the Associated Press, the bill would preemptively bar couples from suing business owners and employees for denying such service.

1. The amount of stupid in the NH legislature knows no bounds.

There were some other kooky bills introduced this year, mostly having to do with religion, women's rights, various dark ages junk. Of course, the legislature is majority Rethuglican in both houses, but the Governor, now in his last term, is a Dem, who would never sign something really stupid.

2. "Live free or Die"

I think that State needs a new motto.
