'It is my faith that compels me to advocate for fairness'

Holy MOLEY

Michael Latimer (opposed to the bill, btw) just described a vision a friend had wherein she was taken over Jesus' knee and spanked, and Jesus told her he wouldn't stop until she repented. He then connected this vision to 9/11, brought up Katrina - apparently all judgments, and more can only be avoided by not passing HB 2661.

sigh Jesus spanks people now? These people are really nuts.

Is there a transcript?

I for one would like a transcript to quote from for letters to the editor. This could make some good fodder and show how divorced from the 'reality-based' community these guys are.

I may be wrong, but I just can't believe a majority of my fellow citizens actually buy into this crap.

Hey! I just thought of something...

I haven't heard any gay people today. Is such an important bill going to be discussed without any of the folks who would be protected speaking up for it? Someone please tell me that I just missed them.

How much more Proof do we need?

After listening to all the testimony, I feel dirty and in need of reperative therapy. Somebody please help me get over my disease!

Seriously, after all that testimony from so-called Christians how could anyone in their right mind not vote for this bill?????????????

an update on 2661 action in days ahead

After today's hearing the bill will be voted out of committee this Wed with a do pass recomendation and without amendment. The bill will go to the house floor and a vote is expected on Friday. It is expected the bill will pass as writen.
From there it will go to the senate and be sent to committee, have a hearing and be sent to the floor. Dates for the hearing and floor vote can not yet be predicted.
