Washington State Bigots Trapped in Their Own Hypocrisy
---
The State of Washington has, after many years of narrow failure, narrowly passed a law adding sexual orientation to its list of prohibited forms of discrimination. Governor Christine Gregoire signed the legislation into law yesterday.
The bill makes no mention whatsoever about same-sex marriage, but only the standard and innocuous guarantee of fairness in things like employment, housing, credit and so on.
Nevertheless, the state's anti-gay bigots are planning — what else? — a voter initiative to rescind the measure.
So let's review:
--When they say its "only about marriage," they lie.
--When they say its about "activist judges," they lie.
--When they say it's about the "democratic process," they lie.
--And, most importantly, when they insist that it isn't really about naked bigotry, they lie.
