A Florida-style repeat of Rowan “sex-based” bigots

I’ve written plenty on the controversy last year in Rowan County, NC, about their banning of all “sex-based clubs” in order to rid themselves of any presence of a gay-straight alliance.
I’ve written twice before on the situation down in Okeechobee County in Florida.
History loves to repeat itself in this little world of ours. Looks as the Okeechobee is getting the same “legal” advice as Rowan County. They’re going to ban “sex-based clubs” as well.
Oh well… I can’t wait for all those legislative resolutions apologizing for all this B.S. fifty years from now. I’m going to sit back in my elderly rocking chair and laugh.
