Watch Anderson Cooper Take On Arizona Senator Who Backed Anti-Gay Bill
LatestLike you and everyone else who is sane, Anderson Cooper is done with all these dumb anti-gay “religious freedom” bills that are cropping up in a couple of states. Like, seriously fucking done with them.
The shitty anti-gay bill in Arizona already has legislators who once supported it backtracking like crazy to escape its web of dumbfuckery. However, there’s still more than a few who think this bill is a great idea. Like Arizona State Senator Al Melvin, who seemed to be trying to push forward a GOP talking point that bill wasn’t all that bad (HAHAHAHA), see, it was just the media that made it seem really awful for explaining to the public how the bill would make it legal for businesses to refuse services to gay patrons. Melvin said the opposition from the public was because of the “media frenzy” around the bill.
“You’re seriously blaming the media on this?” Cooper said. “Oh, come on!” Exactly. Nice try, dude. No, the “media frenzy” is just a regular, plain-ole’ “what the fuck is going on in this country!!!” frenzy that comes about WHEN YOU TRY TO PASS SHITTY BILLS. The media takes the ball and runs with it. But you—the assholes who write lousy laws like this—are responsible for the “frenzy” when the public finds out just how awful what you’re trying to do is.
