Addicting Info – Texas Republican Proposes Bill That Allows Discrimination Against His Gay Son

Despite the fact that some Republican leaders are urging for the GOP to give up on trying to fight gay rights, many conservative lawmakers like Rick continue to push against policies that protect the LGBT community, as we’ve recently seen in the horrific anti-gay laws passed in Arkansas and Indiana.

The Republican politician says that gays have “become a protected class” whose status is “discriminatory toward me” and other Christians. Rick says, “I’m a person who believes in individual liberty and freedom, and I don’t discriminate personally.”

Currently, Rick’s bill (House Bill 1556) is sitting in a House committee headed by a Democrat, but the GOP politician isn’t giving up hope. “We’re standing strong on this,” he vows.

As far as Beau is concerned, Rick claims to support his son in all areas aside from his sexual orientation. Rick explained, “I personally feel that’s a chosen lifestyle.”
