According to Kansas Equality, the police in many places in that state routinely arrest gays on Friday, so they have to sit in jail all weekend until Monday, when a judge bangs the gavel and orders them released. It's apparently a harassment tool used by the police to intimidate gays and lesbians. Such harassment sounds like a good project for the ACLU.As for Texas' law, it was the subject of the SCOTUS decision itself, and is similarly unenforeceable. This, however, doesn't stop Texas, like Kansas, from using it as an "enforcement tool" by the police... |
