Opposition grows against anti-discrimination bill in Wyoming

From the reader comments: "I can't understand why anyone would be against this bill. It isn't about privileging one group or another, it's about making sure that everyone has the chance to make a living. Protecting all residents of this state should be something that everyone should support. I'm ashamed that the Catholic Church is opposing workplace protections for LGBT people. I thought Pope Francis had made it clear that everyone deserves respect."
