More on Flat Earth Folk

Came across this from Timshel this morning. Here's the link to the bAdvocate article. Jeez: just when I think Louisiana isn't "just another regressive State," along come a group of "anti-Sodomites" to remind me that there are still plenty of grass eaters down here. Let's see--Bill Shanks, one of the "leaders" of the group (which had no name), believes that Category 5 Hurricanes and racism are caused by the abomination of gay marriage. Hmmn. I wonder how he developed his, uh, theory...

The bills opposed by Shanks and his minions seek to define a spouse as a domestic partner for purposes of sick leave, a mandate for public schools to develop a policy on bullying (which would, according to the flat earthers, teach "tolerance of homosexuality"), and two bills prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Maybe Shanks, et al, should seek a more positive message. From what I've read, the sound supremely qualified to promote the rights of stupid people.
