Religious freedom or discrimination? And what's a Woman Card? Live

Politics and gender will be discussed here. Fair warning.

Missouri's Senate Joint Resolution 39 died in committee. The legislation would have protected religious freedom, or permitted businesses to discriminate (it depends on your opinion of gay marriage and whether being homosexual is a sin).

Proud so many Missouri lawmakers, both for and against this bill, recognized the dignity and humanity of the lgbt community #progress #SJR39

@stlurbanspice This Bipartisan group realized that LGBTQ people live in MO and contribute. They shouldn't be treated as 2nd class citizens

@smstayton Not trying to deny LGBTQ from anything. Just protecting my freedom of religion. #Justsaying #SJR39 #religiousliberty

Even without #SJR39, #Missouri has no state-wide protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity #LGBT :-(

And one presidential candidate (a white man) accused another presidential candidate (a white woman) of playing the "Woman Card." Ladies, what is that?
