Even freaking NASCAR comes out against Indiana's anti-gay law. Update!

Courtesy of Deadspin:  

Here is the statement from NASCAR: 

"NASCAR is disappointed by the recent legislation passed in Indiana. We will not embrace nor participate in exclusion or intolerance. We are committed to diversity and inclusion within our sport and therefore will continue to welcome all competitors and fans at our events in the state of Indiana and anywhere else we race."

I'm sorry but if you are a Republican politician in a red state and you lose support from NASCAR you might as well call it a day.  Because you are toast!

However rather than learn from Indiana's mistake, yesterday the Arkansas Legislature have stumbled into the exact same briar patch:

Arkansas passed a religious freedom bill on Tuesday that is similar to an Indiana law that has faced national backlash for legalizing discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. 

The bill cleared the Arkansas Legislature and now heads to the governor's desk, where it is expected to be signed.

Damn these people are slow to learn!

Update: I may have to take that last line back. Apparently the Governor of Arkansas has refused to sign the bill.

There really are two Americas and I will never, and I mean NEVER, relate to this one!

But I do have to say that there are several members of my family who would feel right at home listening to that prayer and watching those cars drive around, and around, and around, and around, and....well you get the idea.
