Americans are still free no matter how much they hate that fact.

Why would city employees need to travel on official bidness outside the State?

My first thought, also.

Tolerance for anyone except for those who disagree with you. Liberal bigots.

Is Seattle Mayor Ed Murray insane?

Or is he just a hate-filled idiot?

I wonder if he is going to do the same for Illinois, Connecticut, and Rhode Island? All have nearly the same law, BEFORE Indiana enacted it.

The false narrative continues. 20 states have pretty much the identical laws in place. There are a lot of people in these states protesting the Indiana law as though it something unprecedented and saying it is something that it is not.

As members of the Ruling Class’ JV, they’re afforded some piece of the jet set lifestyle. I’m not even kidding.

"Seattle has been a leader in the fight to protect civil rights and ensure equality for all people -- no matter who you are, or who you love," Murray said today in a statement. "This is why I am ordering that none of our taxpayer dollars should go toward supporting this discriminatory law," Murray's statement continued.

So passing a law to protect people against discrimination = discrimination. Were your city employees planning to go there to force people to participate in a same-sex wedding ceremony against their will and then be harassed out of existence, Mr. Mayor? How would taking a trip there "support this 'discriminatory' law"? Makes absolutely no sense all around. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

No, he isn't. He's a hate-filled, intolerant homosexual. There's nothing glad or cheerful about that.

If you check the City of Seattle travel expense reimbursements for the past several years I'm sure you will find numerous trips to LA, San Fran, Vegas, NYC maybe even Honolulu, London, Paris, Geneva...

What would be the grounds of the lawsuit?

It might be better for business if Indiana banned city officials from Seattle.

There's no reason I would want to go to a city with a mayor like him.

A sick pervert

Is not this law darn near a mirror image of
Religious Freedom act signed by Clinton in 1993?

Do not about half of the states have a similar law on the books.

Is not the Mayor just playing to his low information constituents?

I thought so,
