HRC Corrects Bobby Jindal’s Anti-Gay NYT Op-Ed in Red Pen

Jake Folsom April 28, 2015

As Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal digs in his heels in support of the Marriage and Conscience Act (an Indiana-esque "license to discriminate" bill), the blowback continues to roll in.

2_jindalIn response to Jindal's April 23 Op-Ed in the New York Times, HRC has penned (literally) a particularly imaginative response, going over the Op-Ed with a fine tooth comb, and offering edits to the governor's rhetoric. Said strategist Chad Griffin on Twitter:

Hey, Gov. @BobbyJindal, @HRC edited your op-ed for you. You got a lot wrong. #RFRA #LGBT http://t.co/gw3SK7eJHn pic.twitter.com/xtxrpEEsPJ

— Chad Griffin (@ChadHGriffin) April 23, 2015

Most satisfying are the moments when HRC offers deconstructions of opaque conservative jargon. The HRC response pulls no punches, pointing out the impreciseness of terms in the Op-Ed such as: "radical liberals," "discrimination against Christian individuals," "government coercion," and more. It's the perfect antidote to Jindal's extremist hate-mongering.
