GOP Missouri State Rep: The Bible Says Theres A Difference Between Gay People And Human Beings

[n2doc]

During a Missouri House discussion on a bill that would make it dramatically more difficult for individuals to sue their former employers for discriminatory wrongful termination, Representative Rick Brattin (R-Harrisonville) explained he sees a distinction between “homosexuality” and “being a human being.”

The deplorable comment came as a response to an amendment introduced by Rep. Kevin Engler, a Republican, to make it illegal to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation and gender identity—something not currently on the state books.

Fusion reports:

But, for Engler’s fellow Republican Rick Brattin, discriminating against the LGBTQ community isn’t just a legal matter—it’s a universally held religious truism. Because, Brattin explained, “When you look at the tenets of religion, of the Bible, of the Qu’ran, of other religions, there is a distinction between homosexuality and just being a human being.”
Got that? There’s gay people, and then there’s “just being a human being.”

Kudos to that republican Engler for introducing LGBT protective legislation, though. A rarity!
