Connecticut bill would protect homeless from fascism

While Louisiana and Utah are gearing up antiquated, discredited policies to force the homeless to perform slave labor or send them to concentration camps, Connecticut may be a rare state that's moving in the opposite direction.

A bill pending in Connecticut would require cities to adopt policies that are more friendly to the homeless population. If passed, the bill would mandate that municipalities allow homeless people to "use or move freely in public places in the same manner as other persons" and "use any publicly accessible hygiene facility in the same manner as other persons."

In other words, it would actually protect the homeless from being discriminated against.

Why shouldn't a homeless person be able to move about as freely as anyone else? This is a simple matter of equal protection.

Naturally, the far right is pitching an absolute fit against this bill.
