I guess we knew this was coming

The Michigan state House has passed a bill that allows healthcare workers to refuse to treat patients on moral, ethical, or religious grounds. In other words, doctors could not be held liable for refusing to treat gay patients.

Will the homophobic doctors have to get some kind of special gaydar equipment installed to make sure they don't miss anyone? What about the bisexuals? That could certainly get tricky. Men in Michigan will have to be sure, when they enter the doctor's office, that they don't say anyhing about the decor or get a football score wrong.

The bill now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate.
