Good To Know Who's Supporting The Bigots


As the backlash against Indiana's anti-LGBT law grows, there are some who have another opinion about the law:
Republican presidential hopefuls are lining up in defense of Indiana’s controversial “religious freedom” law, which critics warn will open the door to legal discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals by businesses in the state.
“I think Gov. [Mike] Pence has done the right thing,” former Florida governor and likely 2016 contender Jeb Bush said in a Monday interview. “I think once the facts are established, people aren’t going to see this as discriminatory at all.”
As a reason why such laws are necessary, Bush pointed to the case of a Washington state florist who was fined for refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.  (our emphasis)
The tell right there is Jebbie Bush's example of the florist who refused service to a same-sex couple.  ("But it's not about discrimination! =wink=wink= ")  "Moderate" Jebbie needs to brush up on the Indiana Republican talking points, which seek to obfuscate the potential for anti-LGBT discrimination as represented by the Washington State florist example.

Sen. Marco "Glug Glug" Rubio, Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz, Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, and Ben "On Meds?" Carson have also stated their support for the anti-LGBT law.  Koch employee of the year and vanquisher of ISIS labor unions Gov. Scott "Koch Head" Walker has effectively shrugged and run in the other direction when asked about his views (a man of many minds has no mind at all, it's said).

Let's make sure the American public remembers this shameful episode, and the response of Republican presidential bigots hopefuls, as November 2016 approaches.

BONUS:  As if any further proof were needed, this is how the anti-LGBT law is seen in reality by the good upstanding Christians knuckle-draggers.
