re: #286 goddamnedfrank

No, not really. The fact that the Kansas law is that much worse doesn’t change things at all. The existing laws exempts churches and religious orgs only. 1062 would exempt anybody, any business that claims a religious basis for their discrimination. So what if it carves out a space for compelling state interests, that just leads to a ton of bullshit litigation. Do we really want local state civil juries trying trying to figure out the compelling government interest difference between a muslim restauranteur’s objection serving gays vs. blind people with service dogs?

So you don’r see much worthwhile difference between what the media by and large told us about this legislation and what actual legal experts had to say it means?

I don’t see how the public can have sensible opinions on a matter when / if perception over rides reality. I don’t want to live in strawman city.
