We’ve all learned by now that, thankfully, anyone voting against LGBT rights is clearly on the wrong side of history. However, it seems that some hard-headed lawmakers have yet to get that memo. One such person is Montana’s Representative Tom Berry (R-Roundup), who (along with Rep. Dave Hagstrom, who we wrote about earlier this week) voted against SB 107, which would (finally) decriminalize homosexuality. Now, since Lawrence vs. Texas made all sodomy laws null and void, this might seem like a no brainer. After all, what are they going to do, round up (pun intended) every LGBT person in the states with these laws still on the books and throw us in jail? The outcome would be outrageous, and of course it likely (hopefully) would never happen, but, still, it is a matter of dignity and what is right. The idea that taxpaying, law-abiding citizens have to live with laws on the books that criminalize our very existences is outrageous, especially here in the year 2013.





Well, Berry is learning the hard way that his way is not the right way, as his vote against the bill has earned him a protest of his personal business, because his constituents obviously do not like being represented by such a hateful individual. Great job, citizens of Roundup. Hell, if the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck can bend and roll with the tides of the times, surely Tom Berry can as well. However, as long as he digs his heels in, he can continue to suffer professionally and financially.
