"The Republican-controlled Senate voted 23-5 to pass the Mormon church-backed anti-discrimination bill first unveiled Wednesday. That speedy approval sends the measure to the GOP-controlled House, where the bill would need approval before lawmakers adjourn at midnight Thursday".
"The bill bars discrimination against LGBT people when it comes to housing and employment, but it exempts religious groups and protects the rights of religious people to voice their beliefs."
"Several senators on Friday drew parallels to discrimination that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face to personal experiences of discrimination they have faced as ethnic minorities".
===================
Have to keep a eye on this and see how beat up it ends up before final vote. I feel it needs a little fixing in the religious belief's part.
Maybe we need a transgender religion. One that believes in basic human rights over uneducated hate.
I think Pastafarianism should be the official trans* religion. His Noodliness doesn't care if you're LGBT as long as you've been touched by his Noodly Appendage.
Can I get a Ra'men?
Seriously though, this is a good step for the LDS and kind of unexpected by me.
