Honestly, if we allow partisan gatherings of any kind on the Legislature grounds, it's to be expected some won't be things you agree with. Barring extreme nonsense like antisemitism, people should be able to express their views.

The anti-LGBTQ+ views of the Christian right are extreme nonsense like antisemitism. It's a belief that certain groups of people shouldn't exist based on how they were born.

Maybe so, and I certainly disagree with his politics, but this isn't an anti-LGBT rally. It's a concert.

I might not agree with the ideology of a Soviet-era communist marching band, but I don't think that means they should be stopped from playing. The "it's us or them" idea contributes to a lot of modern radicalism by making discourse about correction of thought, rather than the exchange of ideas.

Fine, but using that logic will a LGBT group be able to easily book and hold a concert here too? I feel our current government is picking and choosing who can use these spaces based on their preferences.
 
Haha as if. Simply existing as an LGBTQ person is now considered being political.

To them, there's two orientations, straight and political.

Obviously this isn't going to happen, but out of morbid curiosity I half want to see it pass.

It seems to be. I fail to see why having a referendum is so urgent and needs to be done in such a rush.

If we have to have one, the court should provide input to ensure the question is properly thought through, that does not seem unreasonable to me.

It’s less a referendum timing than it is election cycle timing.
