Delusional quote of the day

From Towleroad, here's how new Utah Governor Gary Herbert, who is against anti-discrimination laws that include sexual orientation, justifies his pathetically delusional views:
"I don't believe sexual orientation should be a protected class in the way that race, gender and religion are. We don't have to have a rule for everybody to do the right thing. We ought to just do the right thing because it's the right thing to do and we don't have to have a law that punishes us if we don't."
In Utah it is legal to fire someone for being gay or transgender, which pretty much sums up the stupidity of the statement of the highest official in the state saying that "we should all do the right thing because it's the right thing to do."

Then again, in his warped mind view, doing the right thing probably does include firing someone simply because he's gay.
