Ted Cruz Set To File Bill To Allow Businesses To Discriminate Against Unwed Fornicators

[EricMaundry]

Republicans are attempting to pass a bill which would encourage the discrimination of LGBT individuals as well as anyone who has sex but is not involved in a heterosexual marriage. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) push to pass FADA, or the First Amendment Defense Act, is the most recent attempt to legislate religious extremism under the guise of free speech protection.

Indeed, if Cruz and Lee have their way, 2017 will be 1957 again. The bill encourages the discrimination of those who do not conform to outdated standards of Christian heteronormativity – that sex is only acceptable between married men and women.

The bill states that (1) marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, or (2) sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.

It is a discriminatory piece of legislation because it places old-world bigotry front and center. If FADA passes, the government will not unable to reprimand anyone, or any entity, that has discriminated against those who do not conform this limited definition of marriage.

In other words, a gay couple who is denied service cannot appeal to the government for help. In fact, if the government took any action against their perpetrators, they could technically be sued. This would go as far as the Attorney General defending the business’ right to discriminate.

1. He wants to ban High School proms?! nt

[madaboutharry]

2. I think Ted Cruz has serious personal sexual problems.

He obviously has major hang ups.

Poor Heidi. She always looked like she was repulsed by him.

3. ...along with his kids. They all look like hostages, not family

when they're together at political functions.

Cruz is so damned concerned with how everybody else lives their lives. Clearly, his own life in in need of some serious attention.

5. Good analysis. n/t

12. This might explain why he became the Zodiac killer.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. Crotch-sniffers (forced-birthers, anti-equality) usually have dirty drawers.

[Girard442]

4. If marriage isthe union of one man and one woman, what about Trump? NT

[Mariana]

14. Well, adultery is obviously just fine and dandy.

Even though it's one of the Big Ten things people aren't supposed to do, it apparently isn't worthy of Ted's attention. Christ clearly said he did not approve of divorce and remarriage, but it seems Ted isn't bothered about that either. Gotta have priorities you know.

17. +1000000!

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. And how does a business know which women are married or having unmarried sex?

Or a widow?


Yeah, I know..this is a dog whistle aimed at gay males, because in the minds of dogmatic men who make the laws, only gay males are a problem.

Not gay women
or priests
or that weird scoutmaster
or all the other variations of non-married sex.

And Cruz, a supposed lawyer
a supposed legal citizen
cares not for all the Constitutional violations he is inciting.
Isn't there a law against THAT???

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Would That Not Include Trump & Gingrich?

Just sayin'

[Mariana]

15. He means one woman at a time, silly.

It's just fine for a man to have a bunch of wives, he's just not allowed to have a bunch of wives at the same time.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Duh

What was I thinking? I got married in 1980 and I guess I thought loyalty mattered!
What an idiot I must be

[area51]

16. I wish to hell Cruz would go back to his native Canada. n/t

[Achilleaze]

18. Sharia Law, Republican-style

[madinmaryland]

20. Hmmm. That would allow businesses to not serve most repubicans. How would

that affect David Vitter???? At least Dennis "the pedophile" Hastert is behind bars.
