Equality and Religious Freedom Act

Citizen Crain posted this on the 21st of March.  He's interested in talking about the Omnibus Gay Rights bill created by eQualityGiving.org.  I've never heard of their group but the proposal is interesting.  What do you think?

Kentucky Anti-Gay Adoption Bill SB 68 Slips through Secret Senate Committee Meeting

This is outrageous.  Since SB 68 solves no problems and costs the state money, Senator Stivers from Manchester decided it would only pass his committe if he allowed no debate, no hearings and no discussion.  So that's what he did.  SB68 is a bad bill.  Children deserve to be placed in homes with parents that can provide a loving home whether or not that's OK with Senator Tapp's preacher. 

Here is Fairness'  Alert on the Issue
BREAKING NEWS

On Thursday, March 5, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Sen. Stivers called a surprise meeting to hear Senate Bill 68 – the anti-gay adoption bill.

Outrageously, the Committee passed the bill favorably after hearing testimony only from the bill's sponsor, Sen. Tapp, and a representative of the Family Foundation.

Opposition is mounting against this mean-spirited bill from across the Commonwealth. Groups speaking out against Senate Bill 68 include the Kentucky Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, Big Sandy Foster & Adoption Association, and many more.

PLEASE ACT NOW! CALL the Legislative Message Line at 800-372-7181 and LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE OF OPPOSITION TO SB 68 for your Senator AND Senate Leadership.
