This is HARSH. Since many states have made gay marriage legal, the right wing politicians in office have gone insane to create LAWS to make discrimination legal against gay people, to BLOCK them from getting married, to block gay people from getting life-saving help, to refuse gay people adoptions, and even impeach judges that ruled that Equality means Equality.
And for those of you who are Religious- Good for you. That doesn't give you a right to discriminate against people unlike you. It makes me sick to think that actual elected officials are doing this crap and legislating hatred. -

Idaho measure calls for impeachments of judges who support marriage equality
The Idaho House last week passed a resolution calling for the impeachment of federal judges who rule in favor of same-sex marriage. The bill, which follows a number of court rulings legalizing marriage equality in Idaho and elsewhere, now heads to the Senate. Democratic state Rep. John McCrostie, who is the only openly LGBT lawmaker in Idaho, indicated that the measure would have little effect other than to provide campaign fodder for certain lawmakers.

Mich. lawmakers vote to let adoption agencies refuse gay parents
Michigan's Republican-led House approved a bill last week that would allow adoption agencies to refuse gay couples on the basis of religious beliefs. The bill would prevent state or local government from punishing adoption agencies exercising objections. "It's not just [a] license to discriminate. It's actually writing a check for that discrimination," said state Rep. Jeff Irwin, a Democrat.

Mo. Legislature considers slate of anti-LGBT bills
Lawmakers in Missouri are considering eight bills that could allow anti-LGBT discrimination, including one that would grant university groups exemptions from nondiscrimination policies and another that would require all public restrooms to be gender-divided. "These bills are all attacks that try to move us backwards," said Kyle Piccola of PROMO, a state LGBT advocacy organization. KSHB-TV (Kansas City, Mo.) (3/20), ThinkProgress.org/MSNBC (3/19)
