Title: Has Mr. Bane seen Colorado's SB 200?
Post by: JohnJacobH on June 24, 2008, 08:42:30 PM

Seems as professional writer this kind of legislation would give Mr. Bane a good case of the screaming heebie-jeebies.


Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter signed into law SB 200

 


Section 8. 24-34-701. Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden. No person, being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent, or employee of any place of public accommodation … shall publish, issue, circulate, send, distribute, give away, or display in any way, manner, or shape or by any means or method, except as provided in this section, any communication, paper, poster, folder, manuscript, book, pamphlet, writing, print, letter, notice, or advertisement of any kind, nature, or description that is intended or calculated to discriminate or actually discriminates against … SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status … in the matter of furnishing or neglecting or refusing to furnish to them or any one of them any lodging, housing, schooling, or tuition or any accommodation, right [marriage], privilege [adoption], advantage, or convenience … on account of … SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status … [which] is unwelcome or objectionable or not acceptable, desired, or solicited.

Forget the public library display of “banned books week” – its “banned books week” all year round in the entire state of Colorado – if those books, paper, posters, folders, manuscripts, pamphlet, writing, print, letter, notice, advertisement, or crayon drawing is said to be calculated, intended, or thought to discriminate against homosexual behavior, or the agenda to rewrite marriage and adoption laws.

So Co. has made it illegal to lobby against same sex marriage ? I see a 1st amendment  supreme court case coming, at least at the state level.

It has passed. It is now the law and the author intends to come to Colorado next week to break it.  You know, like people who carry concealed.

Best regards,
