Every day we hear about another state trying to enact legislation to allow citizens to discriminate against LGBT people.

Now it’s North Carolina’s turn, as the Legislature is considering House Bill 348, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was introduced on Tuesday. (An identical bill, SB 550 was introduced in the state Senate on Thursday.)...

If signed, the law would allow LGBT Carolinians to be turned away or fired by shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and even hospitals.

Pharmacists in the Tar Heel State could refuse to dispense contraceptives, infertility drugs, HIV treatments and transplant-rejection drugs—as all are incompatible with various religious denominations.

Hospitals?!

“It’s the first freedom. It’s what a lot of people came to North Carolina for originally, was to have religious freedom, at that time from the Church of England,” Stam said.

Yes, you can have your religion but you can't use it to hurt others. I mean wtf?

3. Of course they want such a law, they have Republican Ignorance Law envy.

The ignorance and outrage can only grow, a bigot can only live so long without overt discrimination and someone to scapegoat all their inadequacies.
