On Tuesday, Florida state Rep. Ryan Chamberlin introduced HB 599, a bill that would ban government employees from being required to use the preferred pronouns of their colleagues, prohibits the penalization of employees on the “basis of deeply held religious or biology-based beliefs,” and makes it unlawful for nonprofits or employers receiving state funds to require employees to undergo training on matters of sexual/gender identity or gender expression.

    These non-stories are liberal rage bait. C’mon. One asshole introduces a bill and we all act like it’s a fait accompli.

    Does anyone think both the Florida House and Senate will pass a bill that fucks with private enterprise like this? Donors would have a fit.

    “Don’t Say Gay” has already cost us out our ass on tourism and convention dollars. They’re hardly going to push this even further.

      …have you been paying attention? They’ve already been fucking with private enterprise. All that matters to them is the culture war. They’ve completely dropped the pretense that they’re about business.
