Bobby Jindal plans to issue an executive order enforcing intent of religious freedom bill

Source: Times-Picaynue

Gov. Bobby Jindal issued a statement Tuesday (May 19) saying he plans to issue an executive order to enforce the intent of a religious freedom bill that effectively died about two hours earlier, in the House Civil Law and Procedure Committee.

Read the full statement below:

"We are disappointed by the committee's action to return the Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act to the calendar. We will be issuing an Executive Order shortly that will accomplish the intent of HB 707 to prevent the state from discriminating against persons or entities with deeply held religious beliefs that marriage is between one man and one woman.

"This Executive Order will prohibit the state from denying or revoking a tax exemption, tax deduction, contract, cooperative agreement, loan, professional license, certification, accreditation, or employment on the basis the person acts in accordance with a religious belief that marriage is between one man and one woman."

...these asswipes are being left behind in an old world that an American majority finds distasteful and out-of-touch. In a new national milieu, they're the ones who are immoral and who are corrupting society. They're the ones guilty of persecution. Religion in politics is running its course. And instead of toning it down, they're becoming more militant about shoving it in our faces.

Oh, so the GLBTQ are not being discriminated against, it's the bigots that want everyone to live by their rules that are being discriminated against!

Does that seem right to anyone outside of the Republican Party?
