Montana House committee votes to ban local gay ordinances

What are they so afraid of? A committee of the Montana House of Representatives has voted to approve a bill that would gut local LGBT nondiscrimination ordinances and forbid towns and cities from enacting new ones

Yeah, forbid them from enacting new ones. Sheesh.

A leading proponent of the measure testified that local laws should not require him to rent to gay couples since his religion tells him that homosexuals are an abomination and deserve to die. 

The bill was sponsored by messy-haired Republican State Rep. Kristen Hansen (pictured).
