Kansans Set to Stand Up against "License to Discriminate" bill on Tuesday.

From the HRC blog http://www.hrc.org/blog/entry/kansans-set-to-stand-up-against-license-to-discriminate-bill-on-tuesday

"There's been an incredible response since the state House passed this terrible legislation that would allow both businesses AND the government to discriminate against LGBT Kansans. Voters, editorial boards, and major Kansas employers like Sprint have come out against the bill."

"Tea Party groups and the Kansas Catholic Conference are pushing for the legislation to be brought back up despite the huge unpopularity of the bill. Prospects for the bill are still uncertain, so it's important for lawmakers to hear from the majority of voters who don't believe discrimination is a Kansas value. People from across the state are making plans to stand together in opposition to the bill at an Equality Day of Action in Topeka on Tuesday."


Equality Kansas, the ACLU of Kansas, Mainstream Coalition and Americans United For Separation Of Church and State have now been joined by the HRC and supposedly there will be a table there where Daily Kos will be live-blogging the event.
