Wyoming House Panel Advances LGBT Bill After Ejecting GOP Rep Who Wanted 'Hell Freezes Over' Effective Date
Wyoming House Panel Advances LGBT Bill After Ejecting GOP Rep Who Wanted 'Hell Freezes Over' Effective Date
A Wyoming House panel advanced a non-discrimination bill that would protect people on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity after ejecting a lawmaker from the meeting, the Star-Tribune reports:
The bill had previously passed the Senate and now moves to the House floor for debate.
Rep. Harlan Edmonds (pictured), R-Cheyenne, was kicked out of the House Labor, Health and Social Services meeting Friday, after proposing an amendment to the bill that would make it effective when “hell freezes over,” instead of the date of July 1.
Committee Chairwoman Rep. Elaine Harvey, R-Lovell, had started the Friday afternoon meeting insisting people would remain civil. She told Edmonds to leave after his comment, which followed a more than two-hour discussion in which he also asked the bill’s supporters why pedophilia wasn’t in the bill.
“We said civility would prevail,” Harvey said.
Edmonds tried to cast a vote while leaving the room but was told it wouldn’t count.

Neil Patrick Harris Tells Jimmy Kimmel About His Home's Secret Magic Room: VIDEO
Neil Patrick Harris Tells Jimmy Kimmel About His Home's Secret Magic Room: VIDEO
A couple of weeks ago we told you about a video tour you could watch of Neil Patrick Harris’ Harlem home, courtesy of Architectural Digest. If you watched the video, you got a glimpse of his room dedicated to antique “retro” magic. Harris appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the other night and Kimmel wanted to know more about it, and Harris was only too happy to oblige. For starters, the room is hidden, which serves double-duty of appealing to Harris’ appreciation for Scooby Doo-like secret passages and of keeping the kids out until they’re older.
You can watch the interview, and perhaps get some ideas for your own home design projects, AFTER THE JUMP…
