No doubt those “compassionate Christian” Senate Republicans who passed Senate Bill 180 allowing businesses to refuse to serve gays based on religious beliefs used as their justification for this the Bible, where Christ, while dividing the loaves and fishes, whispered to the servers, “Don’t feed the gays.”

As the Bible is their blueprint to follow Christ to a righteous life free of guilt and sin, surely it’s in there somewhere.
