Link to legislative history:
HB-518

This bill was passed in the NM House on March 13 with a vote of 46 to 11. It will be heard in the Senate Rules Committee tomorrow (3/19), the only committee to which it was assigned. The 60-day NM Legislative Session ends this coming Saturday at noon. Chances of passage? Up to scheduling by Senate leadership if it passes committee.

(p.s. Note that it is to be celebrate only in "odd" years.)

This one's an "odd" one.

Only in odd years....because NM IS odd!

The entire Bill is double facepalm worthy.

IF I RAN A BUSINESS THERE & THEY DECLARED THAT I HAD TO COUNT THIS AS A PAID HOLIDAY FOR MY EMPLOYEES-—I WOULD MOVE ELSEWHERE.

More SPECIAL and SPECIFIC rights.

Doesn’t surprise me even a little bit.

What about pedophiles? Don’t they get a holiday, too? Pedophiles are being discriminated against. New Mexico is bigoted.

[cloudmountain]

This too will go the way of the DODO.

[Texas Eagle]

Is it too late to give New Mexico back to Old Mexico?

[Brandonmark]

A “pubic” holiday perhaps?

New Mexico’s Mammies are teaching the tough and brave New Mexico males how the cow ate the cabbage. Do what your mammies say boys.

[GOPJ]

Ignore these people...

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s just like New Mexico. Celebrate sexual deviants.

We dodged three bullets this year.

The Family Medical Leave act would have been the largest tax hike in NM history. The threat of hanging that around the necks of the Dems is what got it killed. That and it could have bankrupted the state.

The minimum wage bill would have raised the minimum wage to $17 an hour. That got voted down, barely.

There was a bill that would have allowed them to raise your property taxes by 12% a year, and even a minor repair or maintenance, like repaving your driveway, would have allowed the assessor to revalue your property to current market levels. Barely stopped that one as well.

New Mexico can thank the efforts of the Rio Rancho Regional Chamber of Commerce as instrumental in these victories.

Unreal. They already get June, October, and now they get a day in January? Just for taking it up the hind end?

(AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC HOLIDAYS; DESIGNATING THE FOURTH TUESDAY OF JANUARY OF EACH ODD-NUMBERED YEAR AS "LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, QUEER AND EXPANSIVE DAY".)

Satan used Democrat Barack Hussein Obama and
Democrat Joe Biden to deceive many

HOW could so many idiots believe in DEMOCRAT
Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama?

HAS to be the spirit of antichrist

DEMOCRAT JOE BIDEN and DEMOCRAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
ARE UNREPENTANT GODLESS REPROBATES PREACHING SATAN'S LIES
FROM THE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 FIERY PITS OF ETERNAL HELL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

DEMOCRATS prove every single day of the week that they
are at War with Reality, Biology and Almighty God

All according to SATAN'S plan.

(in New Mexico; honor all past, present and future leaders in New Mexico who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or expansive)

The apostasy and the Days of Lot are upon us. As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.

Do NO harm, Christians, but reject
this Godless Reprobate Agenda.
