You Can Be a Bethlehem Bigot Until Friday

As I suggested yesterday, Bethlehem City Council screwed up and forgot to vote on one of the amendments to its amazing new civil rights law, which will eliminate discrimination forever. So now official they'll convene a Special Meeting this Friday at 5 PM.

So if you don't like the way someone looks and want to fire him, you have until Friday. After that, Bethlehem will suddenly become enlightened, just like Allentown.

One local businessman is already making changes. Bethlehem Escorts' proprietor "Razor Blade" Cosimo tells me he's already diversifying. "I'm hiring a few Asians and Puerto Ricans, capish? And who doesn't like lesbians? But "absolutely nobody from Jersey. The last woman I dated from that hell hole took everything I had."

Mayor John Callahan is expected to award Cosimo with a certificate of achievement for his commitment to diversity.

    It would seem that this is yet another embarrassment by council - they don't even know what they are voting on.

    Bernie -

    Does Bethlehem offer benefits to same-sex partners of city employees? If not, will this legislation affect that?

    Of course. There can be no discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
