Kentucky Seeks to Legalize Discrimination Against Gays Based on Religious Beliefs | Alternet

A prime example of what happens when one mixes religion with politics, it becomes an ideology which leads to tyranny.  Many are so worried about Islamic Shar'ia laws creeping into our system but me thinks they need to look in a mirror.  People have every right to practice their religion, but they have NO right to practice it on me or any other minority or group of people they don't agree with.  This will devolve into which religious dogma do we follow, which church is right,,,

Gay rights groups are up in arms. “House Bill 279 represents a clear and present danger to the gay and lesbian community and other minority groups around the commonwealth. [The bill] does nothing more than give people permission to discriminate based on their religious beliefs, thereby taking it beyond ‘freedom of religion’ to ‘forced religion,’ because they have imposed their religious beliefs on others, with legal authority to do so,” a letter from the Kentucky Equality Federation to the Senator who introduced the bill states, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Kentucky has no statewide ordinance against discrimination against LGBT people, but four cities in the state do have anti-discrimination laws. The bill could make it easier for people in those cities to discriminate at will against gay people.
