Georgia Wants to Allow Businesses to Kick Gay People Out of Diners

[grimjacx]

56. Freedom!

I was going to come out against this as they are making all us Georgians look bad, but after reading the bill, it pretty much allows you to do whatever you want in violation of any of them burdensome laws, if you just claim, "religion" sincerely, and it doesn't have to be a really big part of your religion either...

'Exercise of religion' means the practice or observance of religion under Article I,
25 Section I, Paragraphs III and IV of the Constitution of this state and the free exercise
26 clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, including, but not
27 limited to, the right to act or refuse to act in a manner substantially motivated by a
28 sincerely held religious tenet or belief whether or not the exercise is compulsory or a
29 central part or requirement of the person's religious tenets or beliefs.'

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

So, pick a religion and interpret it to not require you to follow any law at all , and voila, GA is actually the most free state ever.

Thank you gentlemen for removing the restraints of government from us all...
Preservation of Religious Freedom Act; enact

None of these fine gentlemen are Democrats. If there were any, they have already removed their names.

The only things I ask, if passed, are that the sponsors agree to personally finance the legal defense of the bill before it is ultimately declared unconstitutional, they be barred from sponsoring any additional legislation of any type, and they ultimately be removed from office if their idiot constituents won't vote them out.
