Are the Republicans who are trying to get an exemption for "Christians" to Bully laws morally bankrupt?
Q. Republican lawmakers are trying to get an "exemption" for Christians to the anti-bully laws that make it a crime to bully a person foe their sexuality. They are using religion as their method to change the law so that so called "Christians" would be exempt from the law on "moral" grounds? Is there anything at all moral in that. Some say they have made a mockery over the suicide death of a teen due to bullying because he was gay. Have Republicans become so morally bankrupt and have their so called "family values" become so skewed that they have become a joke to many?
