Minkus: Tennessee is turning Probully? Halps. Now.

I’m completely outraged. It’s come to my attention that Tennessee, my (currently unfortunate) home state, is trying to pass a PRO bully bill…a bill that says it’s ok to bully homosexuals if your religion or political outlook supports it.

What the fuck is this? Things like this make…

I agree completely that this is totally messed up, but I don’t appreciated you stereotyping the people instituting it.

I’m a Tennessean.  I’m a Republican.  I’m a Christian.

This proposed bill upsets me more than I can say.

I know a lot of extremists who would support this, but I know a lot who don’t.

Saying that southerners are “uneducated, ignorant, and can’t wake up.” and blaming this solely on Republicans or Christians.  Is as bad and saying someone is gay or a f**.  You can’t solve bullying one group by bullying another.  You can’t expect people to stop stereotyping if you don’t yourself.
