Nevada Passes Limited Gay Rights Bill

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/06/060905nevada.htm

The Nevada legislature has passed an anti-discrimination bill that will benefit gay tourists to Las Vegas casinos more than LGBT residents of the state.

The measure would make it illegal to deny people a meal, hotel room, or show ticket based on their sexuality. It does not include housing or job discrimination which are banned for other minority groups.

Nevertheless, the state's LGBT rights advocates say the law is a step in the right direction.

so we can spend our money in Vegas but if we want to work there, we can still be fired for being gay?

interesting

they love ya when it comes to putting a dollar in their pocket... but when they're putting a dollar out, they get ugly x(

waitaminute . . . lemme get this *straight* . . . the Nevada state legislature passed a homosexual anti-discrimination bill but only effective w/i the city limits of Las Vegas, correct? And of course this anti-discrimination bill attaches to certain activities such gays buying a show ticket or getting a hotel room. Okay. Fine. That's a fair start to anti-discrimination laws based on sexual orientation.

However, doesn't the Nevada state legislature understand that gays -- in-staters and out-of-staters -- are going to bring lawsuits if denied such services in other parts of Nevada? Geezuz. Isn't there a due process clause in the Nevada state constitution? An equal protection clause in the Nevada state constitution? I know there's such in our federal constitution!

How stupid can they be? Oh, yeah, correct . . . then they blame "activist judges" who are merely doing their job interpreting their own state constitution (or the federal constitution) . . . oh, yeah.
