Well, that was quick. It seems that lots of people were displeased about Kansas House Bill 2260. You know, the bill that says you can hate on gay and trans people all you want, as long as you do it in the name of God.
This is amazing news, and, to be honest, was a little unexpected. According to the Kansas Equality Coalition, there was no debate on the bill. Once it came up in committee, there was an immediate motion to table the legislation. And it wasn’t even close! The motion passed by either a 12-8 or 13-7 majority (KEC says the vote happened so quickly that it was hard to count). Wowza!
Technically, the bill is only tabled, so it could come up again in this legislative session, but since the session is about half over at this point, it’s unlikely to be picked back up again this year.
