Indiana Hates Queers and Hates You Too

Governor Mike Spence (R, IN) supports freedom in America so he signed the No Queers in My Back Yard law.  Indiana hates queers.

The religious freedom bill gives people in Indiana stores the right to refuse service to people on whatever bigoted basis they like so your best approach to Indiana is to assume they hate everyone and drive around the state rather than through it.

Ballard: 'Religious freedom' bill may hurt state's image, city's convention business (IndyStar)

Let's get this straight, Greggie.  This bill won't hurt Indiana's image, it will reveal it for precisely the bigoted, hateful thing that it is.  No more pretending to be righteous now, honey.

It's not so bad they pretend the No Queers in My Backyard law is valid legislation but it burns my ass they want to be recognized for a righteous thing.  They're too gutless to own the hatefulness they made all by their creative selves.

I've heard more than once from black people that the South makes more sense.  A northern racist will say he loves you to your face and call you a nigger when he's with his white friends but a southern racist will call you a nigger to your face.  In either case, they're hateful bastards but at least in the South you know where you stand.  Christians say they love everyone ... just don't let any fags in my store.

Governor Spence's hatefulness is obvious but he still can't touch the California legislators who introduced the legislation to authorize shooting gay people in the head for no bigger crime than being gay.  It is not clear why introduction of this bill has not been prosecuted as a hate crime as it's obviously an organized procedure and it also obviously is intended for an illegal result.  How that is anything different from racketeering and conspiracy is only clear, most likely, to bankers as they have been doing it for years.

People sometimes charge me with hatefulness and this is a mystery as it's not me who wants to shoot gay people, Muslims, or anyone else, for that matter.

Last night I watched "The Purge" which goes down as one of the most despicable movies I have ever seen.  It's based on a false premise (i.e. in the future there will be a Purge Night in which all laws are suspended and people can do whatever they like) and that premise permits speculation on what behavior would result if it were true.  To shorten the movie to its actual content, without law even the best of us turn into vicious animals.

Note:  I watched it because Ethan Hawke stars and he did an exceptional job in "Gattaca" but he made a bad pick with this one.

The first flaw is that Americans don't pay any attention to the law anyway.  Americans only honor laws if they agree with them.  (That's largely true anywhere)

The second flaw is an extremely simplistic view of the reaction good people would have to such a law.  In the movie, people become entirely feudal and turn their homes into fortified castles ... and lots of them get killed.  In the history of the species, however, we form tribes and help each other when situations turn bad.  The tribe still gets a few bad apples ... but those are the ones you send to Indiana.

Therefore, the premise and the conclusion are judged to be rubbish as the premise will never happen and the predicted consequence is shallow Hollywood crap that doesn't even give a single gratuitous boob flash so it fails on the story line and it fails on presentation of gratuitous sex acts.

So, there in a brief roll, we have real laws that mean nothing, fake laws that mean nothing, and an opportunistic Hollywood producer plus some bigoted Indiana legislators laughing all the way to the bank.
