Tennessee Lawmakers Filing Anti-Gay Marriage Bill Booed And Chased From Press Conference: WATCH

Tennessee Mark Pody

Tennessee Mae Beevers Mark PodyTwo Republican lawmakers were booed out of a Tennessee press conference this week after they filed a bill against same-sex marriage.

The bill argues that Tennessee doesn’t have to follow the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage.

Fox17 reports that Senator Mae Beavers (right) and Representative Mark Pody (above right) managed to speak for less than two minutes before being confronted by the angry audience.

When confronted by an actual, real, live homosexual (above left), Pody is seen to be utterly flummoxed.

Senator Mae Beavers and Represent Pody walked out of the conference in less than 3 minutes w/o listening to any protesters! Cowards!

Via Fox17:

So many opponents started disrupting the press conference both lawmakers ended it early only to be chased down the hall by those demonstrators.

“Some kind of Christian you are you won’t allow someone else to have equal rights under God with you,” one demonstrator said.

Among the people in the crowd were Ann and Darlene Jacobs-Anderson.

The same-sex couple told Fox 17 news they should not have to fight for their marriage that came after the Supreme Court decision..

“I pay my taxes and they say my marriage isn’t valid,” Ann Jacobs-Anderson said. “Who are they who are they to say my marriage isn’t valid.”

Sen. Beavers said the bathroom bill is needed to protect students at school. She also said the marriage bill is necessary to protect the Tennessee Constitution that prohibits gay marriage.

“I don’t feel like this is something the Supreme Court should’ve even take up, and I believe in State sovereignty and I believe in the ability of Tennessee to write their own Constitution,” Beavers said.

Protesters then chased Beavers and Pody to their offices.

Rodiney Santiago’s Caribbean vacation entered week 12. Must be nice!

Do I love myself? I do! When we don’t love ourselves, we are literally pushing things away from us, because the frequency of the Universe is all love. The intelligence that is our Universe has only unconditional love for you, because you are You! To be in harmony with all the good and all the love, it is time to love You. When you love yourself, there is nothing anyone can say or do to phase you. You don’t need to have the perfect body to wear the clothes that you want, you don’t need to be a great dancer but happy…. But Rodiney… I don’t like the away I look now!! SO CHANGE IT!! You have the power! Do it for you! Don’t worry about the opinion of others, do whatever you want and most importantly just BE YOURSELF, you are beautiful ?? Enjoy life and smile, FUCK WHAT PEOPLE THINK #rodineymotivation #tbt #beyourself #behappy #loveyourself #youcanchamgeit #youhavethepower

Larry Wilmore Tells Alt-Right Troll Milo Yiannopoulos: ‘Go F*** Yourself’ – WATCH

Larry Wilmore Tells Alt-Right Troll Milo Yiannopoulos: ‘Go F*** Yourself’ – WATCH

LArry Wilmore milo

After an interview segment (we’re not posting here, you can look it up) in which Bill Maher fawned over alt-right homocon troll Milo Yiannopoulos, some fresh air was allowed in when Maher’s panel joined the conversation and Larry Wilmore told Milo to “go f**k yourself.”

Wilmore’s interjection came after a disgusting back-and-forth between Maher and Milo about transgender people in which Milo misgendered Caitlyn Jenner and made the claim that trans people are “vastly disproportionately involved with sex crimes.”

Maher bolstered Milo’s argument by asking former GOP congressman Jack Kingston, “where do you stand on weirdos peeing?”

Jeremy Scahill, who was booked on the show last week, and canceled when he heard Milo was booked, made the right decision.

Malcolm Nance, the counter-terrorism expert who was booked after Scahill’s departure asked Milo, “Are you the real, true face of the alt-right? I thought the Nazis were in there, how did they take you on board?”
