remember we recently told you about a bill in Kansas that would've
clearly discriminated in fact segregated I
gay americans in the state of Kansas that be would have allowed for
discrimination in private businesses so if you don't wanna serve
a gay people you wouldn't have to whether it's you know taking pictures of
their weddings
or literally throwing out your restaurant now boots one thing about
applies a small businesses but they wanted to apply to all businesses
including
giant businesses that would be allowed to discriminate all across Kansas
are but other than it would have also applied to government officials
so cops could refuse to treat gay people doctors could I refuse to treat them
Khao fireman could refuse to go in there how say you know they're living in sin I
don't wanna go
my because I'm I deeply held religious beliefs that's what the law stated I
don't have to go in
right and maybe throw him out a public pool so many was one of the most
atrocious bills
I have seen in a long long time but now the good news is
it looks like it has been defeated it passed the house
but it went to the senate and Jeff King who is the Kansas
the Senate Judiciary Committee and this committee that the bills in said quote
were not working on House Bill 24
53 they're not working on the committee emmys
it is dad Wow
on K so victory in Kansas now he says don't get me wrong I'm so gonna how hold
hearings and we'll hear about
you know how people feel discriminated against if they have deeply held
religious beliefs are set up
but he said something dramatic would have to come out those hearings that we
don't already know about
for this to move forward he has no interest in bring it forward
are great but it's not just that look at how complete this victory is
they were back and talk to republicans who voted in favor but
in the house in Kansas and now they've changed their minds
while representing Scott Schwab said
it's so tainted now it needs to go away
he's all the guys who voted for he also added
did I make a boat that I regret Yap
that happens do you believe
been miracles okay look at what happened in Kansas
and by the way you know why because a lot of people spoke out
and a lot of people were outraged and they said you can't do this the american
citizens you can make them saying class citizens
can have the government officials discriminate against them
it's outrageous way too far in
even did deeply conservative Republicans in Kansas said
no muss you're right we should not done while
this is not something that hopper happens very often so
enjoy it it's a great victory for justice
