Yay or Nay for Gay?

In the wake of Ferguson and Staten Island, the light has once again been shined on civil rights in America. The Michigan House is as upset about the freedoms being taken away as anyone, and so they have decided to get on board and work to protect the liberties we hold so dear. They have passed a law that allows people in the health care profession to refuse service to those in the LGBT community, on the grounds of religious freedom of course.

The country is shaken by widespread discrimination against conservative Christians, and the fact that they are forced to save the lives of those whose views they disagree with. The law allows provisions for pharmacists to refuse HIV prescriptions and EMTs to not save the lives of gay people, because as we all know, it’s highly contagious. Like Ebola, except actually bad.

The proposal to have the EMTs and pharmacists just wear gloves when encountering a gay person was shot down after conservative proponent Johnson Menler said, “They could breathe on us, or even use their mind powers to corrupt.” In order to clearly identify who is gay and whom the lord has saved, there has been a proposal to attach a pin on the clothing of each gay person. That way they can’t lie and trick us. And why stop at refusing service? The south probably has some left over “white only” drinking fountains and restroom signs; we’ll just change it to “straight only.” If the government wants to actually do something about this injustice, they must keep the ball rolling and try to strip away many civil liberties as possible before all the enthusiasm fades.
