You know the battle I’m talking about, the fight between conservative who want us back in the closet and the liberals who want us to have the human rights we are entitled to have.
Then we have “bathrooms” oh my goodness!
Already the “Family” organizations are starting a radio blitz.
Debate on LGBT anti-discrimination proposal returns to Assembly tonightOh yeah, let’s give all those bigots a loophole to wiggle through by just claiming that it is against their religious belief. Of course there can never be any kind of test to prove it is their religious belief because it is impossible to determine religious belief. Can you imagine if there was an individual religious discrimination based on race?

ANCHORAGE - Seventeen proposed amendments stand in the way of an Assembly vote on an ordinance that would prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation.
While public testimony on the issue is closed, Assembly members will consider changing Ordinance 96 at a meeting Tuesday evening at the chambers in Loussac Library. Until the amendments are weighed, it is unclear what exactly the rule will mean.

Evans, who describes himself as conservative, has pushed for a version of the proposal that would include exemptions for people who object to providing services to bisexual, gay, lesbian or transgender people based on their religious beliefs.
Flynn does not want that exemption built into the rule.
The gamut of amendments that will be weighed Tuesday can be broken down into two groups, Evans said.
"They deal with added religious protections for churches and religious institutions as well as for individuals' religious conscience, and there's also a group that deals with restrooms, locker rooms, that kind of thing," he said in an interview from his Downtown office.
