Raw Story reports:
Republicans in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Monday voted to keep the word “homosexuality” included in the state’s public indecency and obscenity laws, angering top-ranking Democrats including those who introduced legislation to remove the classification from the books. But on a party line vote every Republican, led by Speaker Brian Cutler (photo), elected to abuse, attack, demean, mock, and marginalize the state’s LGBTQ community by voting against the bill.
Cutler last appeared on JMG when he led Pennsylvania’s Republicans in asking Congress to reject the result of the presidential election.
HOMOSEXUAL OBSCENITY?!? My House colleagues just voted on Party lines NOT to remove “Homosexuality” from Pennsylvania’s obscenity laws. House Republicans voted to have the amendment killed rather have the courage of their broken convictions and actually vote on the issue. #Broken

Compounding the rampant homophobia of the Republican caucus with this type of aggressive cowardice is so painfully on brand. May you never have to see your colleagues vote to keep the ways you love a “crime.”
