Of course it isn't going to pass. They've been trying to do this forever.

I know that, but yanno... I have gay people I care about and to think of people being witch hunted for this crap is so retarded it makes me derp.

So, spread the love hate-driven legislation.

I hope it DOES pass, that way all the gays will move out, reducing their power that state has in elections and the pull it has on publishing houses to make there retarded school books.

*shrug* I always thought all the gay people were in California anyway.

I mean, I'm straight and I would never live in Texas.

I sure as HELL would not live there if I was gay! D:

Seriously??? U can't punish someone for their sexual orientation.That's just ridiculous.

Really looks like Texas is returning to... quite literally... the Dark Ages on this stuff.

It would suck if it was the other way around people need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Like if they were arresting straight people for being straight. Also your under arrest for journal theft. JK x3

But, that's not mine!

I swear, some dude I gave a ride to left that in there!

Tell it to the judge *has police sunglasses on and a toothpick in mouth* your going downtown.

Awwwwwww dammit.

>:C

What the fuck, people?! Really, how thick in the head are they down there in that government building?

The thing that sends me flying up against the wall is... Hey Texas? You know that oil spill... yeah.. maybe you should spend your time on that... >:/

They're probably like: Oh it's not our problem, it hasn't affected us yet.

Here is the thing, Texas basically hates gays, lesbians, blacks, hispanics and those who do not follow the teachings of the Bible to the core but they can not do anything because the protection of all is in the US laws that EVREYONE has to follow. So, those thick-headed retards of the GOP decided they could give a fuck to the US laws and do whatever they want. This is a sign that the ones who want this stupid fucking law to pass are wanting to ultimately make Texas declare their independence from the United States to become its own country so they can become a dictatorship and do whatever the fuck they want. However, the US will not allow this and I can see a war brewing between the two in the future.

I never thought of it that way, but it doesn't seem too far fetched.

so, wait...if the US Supreme court already declared sodomy laws and laws criminalizing homosexuality as being...unconstitutional, shouldn't the state of Texas be the ones facing charges for trying to enact something the SCOTUS already said is illegal?

is maliciously violating constitutional rights a felony, or a misdemeanor? Cuz if its a felony, then the very ACT of TRYING to get this passed should be "conspiracy" 0.o

Wow, that's a very interesting and valid point!

I found an excerpt of a speech by the Texan governor! ^^

Oh yeah. I went there ^^

I'll have to check it out a bit later!

Aw c'mon! Soundclips of Nazi speeches are totally work-safe. Nobody's gonna think you're an ass.

Well... some, maybe XD

Nevermind. I'm not too far off with that comparison >3

wow I was just saying in my journal that I honestly tried thinking of some if any good conservatives do and the more I think about the less sense it made and the more evil ti seems other compared conservatives to nazi's and reading this word for word they are similar.

I don't know if there's a quote to back this up on that link, but in a book I'm reading about SS mysticism, Himmler is to have said that homosexuality is a "communicable disease" X3

yeah because all the straight people I seem to hang out with turn gay I just don't understand why! D: JK x3

That's hardly an effective comparison of the modern Republican movement to Nazism. Nazism was actually pretty much extreme Socialism. They were implementing plans of national welfare and nationalized healthcare as well as their more well-known actions. So, yeah, you actually are pretty far off with that comparison.

Not that I'm excusing the Republican party, but dude. Godwin's law.

It's about the homosexual opinion of Heinrich Himmler and the members of the SS. Nothing to do with Third Reich politics >3

And by the sheer amount of firearm photos on your profile, I can tell it'd be a challenge to prove my side of the argument with you >3

Oh, I'm not trying to start an argument. A lot of the Texas government's actions recently have been inexcusable. I just like playing devil's advocated. Also, I never use my firearms to intimidate or control people, so you have nothing to worry about there.

That's nice to know ^^

Leethar is just about the coolest guy I know.

Trust, me, I go shooting with him! :3

Well the best thing you can do in Newberg, OR, is go drinking [wine] with old farts. So I wouldn't get that XD

This will surely put a damper on the gay rodeo! D:

Well that's a step back by about 50 years. Iran would be proud.

That said, I think a lot of people are overreacting about Texas in general. Most of the people I know in Texas, even some very conservative people, would think this law absolutely absurd. That said, there are a lot of people with political clout in Texas who are pretty scary, politically.

Oh, and if proposing a law that's unconstitutional was a criminal offense, like half of our government, federal and state, would be out of a job. It's absolutely sickening how often people propose laws that are grossly unconstitutional without so much as a slap on the wrist.

Oh I don't doubt it. I'm grossly overgeneralizing, of course... it's just baffles me how this kind of legislation could actually make it to the table in all seriousness...

Good point. It's still kind of sad, though. :/

Oh, definitely. It's shocking that this would even be proposed in a modern government.

So much for helping USA's image as a racist country

Well, Race and sexual orientation aren't quite the same, but yes, America the Intolerant.... *sigh*

i never cease to be amazed by the ignorance of other people.

It's so sad!
