When my supposedly progressive town tried to pass a non-discrimination ordinance that would have prevented people from being denied housing or employment because of their sexual orientation or gender identification, the religious crazies came out in force.  They were perfectly comfortable calling me and the other queer people at public hearings pedophiles and accusing us of bestiality.  When it came close to passing, our mayor shot it down because of her “Christian beliefs.”  Now that even Salt Lake City has passed a similar ordinance, I wonder if it’ll have more of a chance here.
