The newly signed law says denial of care can’t be based on a patient’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but it provides no protections on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Additionally, the law also allows healthcare employers to discriminate in hiring and bars medical boards from disciplining doctors for spreading misinformation, essentially forcing employers to keep workers who refuse to do their jobs, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) noted.
In a statement, the HRC said the newly signed law “creates a license to discriminate by allowing healthcare employers to discriminate in hiring, and it bars medical Boards from disciplining doctors for spreading misinformation.”
You would have to be willfully ignorant and aggressively naive to believe that Republicans won’t change any of the qualifiers at some future date. Clarence Thomas already implied that he thinks Marriage Equality should be overturned. If they’re coming for the “T” and the “Q” in LGBTQ today, you better believe they’ll be coming for the “LGB” tomorrow. And they won’t stop there.
Which is why I always find it wild when all the TERFs out there side with conservatives (knowingly or otherwise), foolishly thinking that they’re safe.
If you aren’t a wealthy, white, heterosexual, “Christian” male, then you’re fair game for Republican ChristoFascists—you are not safe.
Republicans want us dead. There’s no two ways about it, and nothing they can justify this level of cruelty and evil with. We do not fit into their idea of a perfect world, therefore we must be exterminated.
This is a war for our survival now. Do not be so foolish as to think it is anything but.
