Jeff Ayers, executive director of South Carolina Equality Coalition, which advocates lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender rights issues, said at the start of the year there were 11 anti-LGBT bills filed in the South Carolina Legislature.

LGBTs pay taxes, tax free religious organizations that discriminate become tax leeching orgs at that point, otherwise known as THEFT.
