I say (and I'm not alone), it's better to have a principled bill which fails than to pass an anti-discrimination bill that is itself discriminatory.
Agreed. I have been involved with efforts to get a different kind of anti-discrimination-type law passed, and am very much of the opinion that "no law" is better than "crappy law that we passed just so we could have something on the books, and then maybe someday later we'll come back and fix it somehow".
