Voters May Decide Whether to Declare This South Carolina County an LGBT-Free Zone (VIDEO)

[TexasTowelie]

Last month, numerous outlets reported that one-third of Poland is now an “LGBT-free zone,” which means local municipalities have passed resolutions “against LGBT propaganda” and “pro-family.”

Now, believe it or not, voters in one U.S. county may decide whether to do effectively the same thing.

Joe Dill, a councilman in Greenville County, South Carolina, has introduced a proposed ballot measure that would allow voters to weigh in on an anti-gay resolution originally passed in 1996. The resolution states “that lifestyles advocated by the gay community should not be endorsed by government policy makers, because they are incompatible with the standards to which this community subscribes.”

The resolution also states that “the traditional family structure … has been proven to be the primary and best method for fostering a positive development in children” and “pledges not to fund those activities which seek to contravene these existing community standards.”

Different drinking fountains for whites and colored.

2. Misleading

Not defending these assholes (Greenville is the home of Bob Jones University), but the discussion is about repealing a 25 year old anti-gay non-bonding resolution, not about whether to pass such a resolution.

3. Okay, fine...

please inform the population as to exactly where these 'community standards' come from (as in who told you this was a standard and why would whomever it was know). Please also offer proof that everyone in that county, not just the ones that attend your functions, agrees with this. I would also add that I would love to see the definitions of a 'traditional family structure', and the proof of this fostering whatever it is you are babbling about. Then, get ready to go home. Every thing you have said is a direct favoritism towards a specific religion and its doctrines, which means many, many, many legal battles and many, many victories for those of us with brains in our heads over the forces of dogma and idiocy. I know that state has issues, but even if the state Supreme Court upholds this insanity, once the federal courts get into it, that happy horseshiat will stop. There is no way to deny that this comes from religion, and that it is the specific viewpoint of that specific religion. Which violates Amendment One. Y'all come back now, hear?

4. Issue resolved ------------

As I had posted earlier, this was not about passing an anti-LGBTQ resolution, but rather whether to repeal one passed decades ago.

At their March 11 meeting, the Greenville County Council rescinded the resolution, noting that it was illegal now and that it no longer reflected the views of the County government or citizens.
