TN Republican Rep Dunn proposes discrimination based on sexual orientation

Submitted by bizgrrl on Tue, 2006/05/02 - 4:20pm.

TN Democratic State Senator Stephen Cohen introduced a bill to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages at two new "premier-type" tourist resorts on Watts Bar Lake. In the process he apparently wanted to ensure patrons would not be discrimated against on the basis of sexual orientation.

The bill passed the TN Senate. Well, apparently TN Republican State Representative Bill Dunn would have none of that. He introduced an amendment to the bill to eliminate sexual orientation from the non-discriminatory list. This bill with Dunn's amendment passed the House and will now have to go back to the Senate.

Oh, my! Now, apparently, "sexual orientation" must be defined. What is Dunn afraid of? Pedophilia apparently. Now, I may be crazy but I think pedophilia is against the law, but being gay or lesbian is not. Why does the Republican Party depend so much on fear tactics? What are they, what is Dunn, afraid of? I reckon they just don't want to lose control in this good ole boy state.

That Dunn guy appears to have some powerful gaydar mojo to have caught that. So, does this mean that a gay bar at a premier marina resort doesn't have to serve straights?

Losing.  The only popular proposal the GOP makes is tax-cutting, and that's mainly for the rich and the very rich.  The rest of us get fear tactics.

Dogs

Bill Dunn's other claim to fame is his proposal to ban dogs from riding unrestrained in the backs of pickup trucks

 
He's a sharp one.
