In a sane world, Rep. Mike Hill’s flippant dismissal would be taken to mean that the proposal was so ridiculous he obviously could not and did not take it seriously.
In fact, no normal person would take offense at Hill’s response. Not being normal people, that has not stopped Republican leaders in the state legislature from joining state Democrats in demanding that Hill -- who made history in 2013 when he became the Florida Panhandle's first black Republican elected to the Legislature in 126 years -- apologize for his nonendorsement of sodomy laws or resign from office.
