More 1-percenter excuses

Because the Wall Street 1% hates gays, the Wall Street 1% hates gays.

In Richmond, Kentucky, a lesbian couple and a professional photographer were thrown out of a park on Saturday just because the couple are lesbians. A park employee reportedly told the photographer, "If you come back and bring those type of people, you will be removed from the park."

That's bad enough, but the excuse concocted by the 1% to defend this discrimination is just as silly. They boasted that it's legal to expel gays from the park because there's no local or state law specifically protecting gays. Wrong. As members of the public, gays have as much right as anybody else to use city parks. Period. End of story.
