Gays unhappy that sex ban remains on books

Members of Kansas' gay community aren't happy as lawmakers in Topeka have decided to leave on the books laws banning homosexuality. The laws banning gay sex have been ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, but the law remains in place in Kansas.

And an effort to repeal it was killed this week in Topeka, leaving gay and lesbian Kansans outraged.

“Good people make bad decisions, and I believe this was a very bad decision,” said Jackie Carter with Metropolitan Community Church to KSN.com.

Carter is a leader of the gay and lesbian community in Wichita and the pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church. She says she’s saddened by a move this week in Topeka to leave a law on the books in Kansas that bans gay sex. She says to the KSN.com, it leaves thousands of gay Kansans under the impression they are unwelcome in the Sunflower State.
