Gov. Tom Wolf stood with a small group of lawmakers Wednesday morning to rally new efforts behind bills that would extend basic anti-discrimination protections statewide on the basis of sexual orientation.
For Pennsylvania, a state where in most municipalities a person can still be fired from his job or denied housing because of his or her sexual orientation, Wolf said the extended anti-discrimination bills fit the state's heritage perfectly.
"Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn on the basis of tolerance. On the basis of religious freedom," Wolf noted.
U.S. District Judge John Jones gave the LGBT movement a push with his ruling overturning the state's same-sex marriage laws last year, Wolf noted, but the more basic protections are still sorely needed.
According to a fact sheet put out by the advocacy group Equality Pennsylvania, at present 32 percent of gay or lesbian adults in the state do enjoy those basic protections through local anti-discrimination ordinances.
But 68 percent of those residents do not have those protections, and that is a reality that has helped Pennsylvania receive the Human Rights Campaign's lowest ranking in its State Equality Index: "High Priority to Achieve Basic Equality."

If you remember RIGHT Dan Rooney endorsed 0bama from the get go. I am still a Steelers fan but he LEFT a terrible taste in my mouth when he did that.
Are you sure that's a goatee and not the result of an overly enthusiastic face lift?
Everyone is making the assumption that things like this are the new norm. Unfortunately, it will prompt a new "cleansing" that will make the Holocaust a footnote. I suspect it will be in my lifetime, and I'm really torn about whether to oppose it.
After all, it would be a lot of erased Stupid.
Considering there is no way to prove someone is gay, it’s not exactly a Selma moment.
More along the lines of an eventual natural cleansing from many natural disasters all within a short time frame would be bad enough. You would also be likely trash to the people of NYC or whatever cities get leveled to the Earth anyways. I agree, in more ways than one, our government and much of culture is on a suicide path. I don’t see an option much of letting a holocaust happen so much as being one who leaves before the destruction happens, or one who stays and embraces the filth when the destruction happens.
There’s no closet for skin color.
Leave to where? In my neck of the woods, when the urban population starts to move away from the uninhabitable cities, (What I've heard called the "Golden Horde."), they will be channeled by geography away from my 'go-to' spot. I've given this some thought.
I and a select few have developed contingencies. The question is whether we have a moral duty to accept and protect the emotional train wreck pictured above, or lead it somewhere that won't contaminate the water supply and do the humane thing and end its pain...
I have seen and worked with some of the political activists in today’s world, most of them illustrate by their shopping habits that if some kind of disaster happened, they would be turned to begging for food pretty fast. In fact, with the obvious exception of politicians, I would not be surprised if plenty of activists weren’t doing much for if some week without electricity or some other crazy thing happened where you would need food and water that stays well without refrigeration. Take my time at the deli, for instance, people focused on getting some really perishable meat during the time of Sandy. While I was not in NYC, at the time, but in Delaware, I was still thinking. Thank God this is likely not going to be too severe of a flooding or power outage problem (1 week or more without power) because these people raiding the deli would turn to begging or worse when a lot of their food spoils due to a lack of refrigeration.

A big Perry whoops!
By the way, what does this even MEAN?
The Harrisburg PD beating trannies with clubs while setting dogs on them?
That does seem a bit - overwrought, neh?
What are they going to do ... get naked in the street and have a mass buggery fest?
