First, they came for the gays...


Anti-Gay Ohio Groups Now Targeting Straights

(Columbus, Ohio) A conservative Christian group at the forefront of the push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in Ohio is now zeroing in on gay singles and heterosexuals.

Citizens for Community Values wants legislation to limit the operating hours of adult bookstores and strip clubs. The group has submitted a ballot question to the state. If the wording is approved it could begin collecting signatures to have the issue placed before votes in November.

Under the proposal "adult entertainment" facilities would have to close from midnight to 6 am. Nude dancing within six feet of customers would be a criminal offense.

The group had pressed to have the restrictions incorporated into a bill that gives townships more leeway in regulating adult businesses but was struck from the final version of the legislation because it did not provide penalties.

1. bibles are FAR more dangerous. full of sex, murder, incest AND
they have been used to justify the rape, torture, and murder of hundreds of millions of people in the last 2000 years.

2. You could just see that coming...
That's why I get so upset with friends who don't think it's important to stand with gays and lesbians in their battle for equality. Once these fundie freaks eliminate the rights of one of their targeted groups, they move on to the next. In a different era, these same people would be in white sheets wearing crosses (and burning them!)
