Why does CA legislator, Bob Huff, hate LGBT youth?

[keepCAblue]

Got this today from EQCA. Please help kill these bills and take action at the EQCA link below:

We need your urgent help to kill two bills in the Legislature that would take protections away from youth.

Anti-gay activists want to strip away safe schools protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth that we have worked long and hard to secure. The latest assault comes next week when two anti-equality bills come before the Assembly Education Committee.

Join Equality California in urging members of the Education Committee to stop these hateful attacks on LGBT students.

Take action now. If you are a member of EQCA's Action Center, simply reply to this email to encourage your legislators to oppose these two misguided bills.

Kill Assembly Bill 2085 (Huff)
AB 2085 would delete existing civil rights protections against discrimination in public school instruction based on actual or perceived sexual orientation and perceived gender (including gender identity) disability, nationality, race or ethnicity, and religion.

Kill Assembly Bill 2086 (Huff)
This bill would discourage schools from offering diversity programs that discuss sexual orientation and gender identity issues. Programs like Coming Out Week and the Day of Silence, which could be affected by this bill, are critical for fighting intolerance that often leads to harassment and violence against LGBT youth.

All students need and deserve school settings that are free from hate and discrimination. These spiteful bills must be stopped to protect our youth. Take action today.

Thank you for helping EQCA stop unfair attacks on our equality.

1. Clueless

... California's Republican Caucus is totally clueless. The
letter below from Mr. Huff reeks of "just not getting
it".
