Senate Blocks Interracial, Interfaith Marriages (SB 180) - Progress Kentucky
"A Kentucky Senate committee has passed a bill that would allow store owners and other providers of services to refuse to serve interracial couples, interracial families, or couples of different faiths. In addition, the bill would prevent the refused couples from seeking redress through the courts.
The Protected
Titled, apparently without any sense of irony, “an act relating to the protection of rights,” SB 180 creates a state-wide group of “protected activities” and “protected activity providers,” then proceeds to cover those so protected with immunity from any laws by any governmental body anywhere, and states that people so covered cannot be fined or charged with any crime.
Who are these persons so protected, and what are the activities so protected? Let’s look at the precise and clear language provided by the bill"
