Niki Quasney and Amy Sandler - guess which one of these carpet munching mentally ill dykes wears the strap-on?

Munster Indiana, other communities not waiting on state for LGBT protections - they want to pander to these sickos now for the votes - Selling your morals and values for a vote....

Efforts to include sexual orientation and gender identity in Indiana's civil rights code failed during the current session of the Indiana General Assembly, but several communities in Northwest Indiana and elsewhere across the state aren't waiting for the state.

It's been a lengthy but rewarding process for members of the group known as We Are Munster, as publicizing the effort has brought out more people in support of the idea.

Munster resident Amy Sandler started the ball rolling last spring when she brought up the idea during a Town Council meeting. Sandler and her late wife, Niki Quasney, were instrumental in getting the state's same-sex marriage ban overturned in federal court in 2014. Her speech wound up on YouTube, and the ensuing publicity helped inspire Munster residents, including Paul Rotatori and Ann Bochnowski, to get involved in the effort.

"I was just furious that the town was dragging its feet, and a nondiscrimination ordinance seemed to make perfect sense," Rotatori said. "After RFRA (Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act), it was a fantastic opportunity for Munster to differentiate itself and show that it is a welcoming community."

Rotatori attended the next meeting along with 20 of his friends, and soon he found himself part of the grass-roots group that eventually became We Are Munster.

"It's really been a grass-roots effort," Rotatori said. "We've been soliciting face-to-face meetings with business owners, and we've received letters of support from places like Community Hospital, Three Floyds, Dance Gallery, as well as having individual discussions with our neighbors.

"It really is Munster residents pressing this."
