What's with those southern boys? On our national news this morning I heard a report about Georgia. Seems they can discriminate against same sex couples if their religion supports it. Now two major movie companies (Disney and Marvell?) are threatening to leave the state and take the 80k jobs with them.


Canada is not without its problems:

Gay men and lesbians in Canada have experienced persistent patterns of discrimination
and persecution. They have:

Been treated as mentally ill and subjected to conversion therapies, including
electroshock treatment
Been targeted by discriminatory laws, including criminal prohibition of same-sex
practices
Not been permitted (until recently) to participate openly in the Armed Forces
Faced discrimination in employment and housing; and
Been the victims of hate-motivated crimes, anti-gay and anti-lesbian violence,
and verbal harassment
