Legalizing Discrimination in Iowa

This from andrewsullivan.com and Dan Savage's post: discriminating law from Iowa. This is scary:

It would be legal for an Iowa business owner who cites religious beliefs to refuse to provide jobs, housing, goods or services to people involved in a marriage that violates his or her religious convictions, according to a bill an Iowa House subcommittee will consider on Wednesday. House Study Bill 50, called the Religious Conscience Protection Act, would allow a person, business or organization such as a charity or fraternal group to deny services without fear of facing a civil claim or lawsuit if they think doing so would validate or recognize same-sex relationships.

Sigh.

Homophobia is going to die slowly.

Pace!
