Yesterday on “Washington Watch,” Jonathan Saenz of the Religious Right group Texas Values criticized state lawmakers for failing to vote on a proposal that would have invalidated several LGBT nondiscrimination measures passed by cities throughout the state....

Saenz said that the business lobby offered “absurd” reasons to “oppose religious freedom efforts,” adding that members would be “shocked” if they knew about the organization’s “extreme,” “far-left” leadership.

Laws against LGBT equality, Saenz said, “have helped Texas and have been a part of what makes Texas great. You see flocking from New York and California because of our business climate but it’s also a part of the values that we have. So this type of war on values from the Texas Association of Business within our state has got to end.”

Cathie Adams of the Texas Eagle Forum similarly told a Texas Values gathering last year that people are leaving states that “embrace homosexual marriage” for Texas. Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly has also claimed that “many Americans are dissenting with their feet” and moving to states that ban gay marriage.

1. I am sure Waco tops that list.

But a bar named Twin Peaks may attract some attention.

2. It's a chain of Hooters-type sports-bar restaurants here in the SW.

6. Oddly enough, perhaps the best-known gay bar in the Castro

is called Twin Peaks. It's named after actual twin peaks that rise above the Castro.

7. LOL, talk about serendipity.

3. Funny, everybody I know who has moved there has been transferred there by

their employers and they are not happy about it, even after they've been there for some time.

Texas, you're a right wing hole. Now get over yourself and start listening to the people who could manage to improve things there, the left.

4. If people are actually moving to TX for that reason

they are dumber than a bag of hair.

Which is not to say there aren't actually people that stupid in this country; we have zillions of them.
