Illinois Senate and Gay Rights
1/11/2005
Why anyone would want to question or limit the rights of people based on sexual inclination is beyond me. However, it is still a big victory for civil rights in Illinois that their senate passed a measure prohibiting job and housing discrimination against homosexuals.
Still, it is evident that 28 members of the Illinois senate seem to think that gay people are subhuman. Why would anyone want bigotry in their lawmakers? Answer: because so many people in this country are still bigots, even after all the freedoms we've 'fought for' in the past. All of our rhetoric about people being equal doesn't seem to mean shit to these poor bastards.
If anything, common sense and fairness will win out. There is no doubt of that. And when the 'other group' gets smaller and smaller, perhaps we can start some programs to help them get their sick heads straight.
