It is currently Pride month, and this is a stripped away right to the LGBTQ+ community to be treated equal and fairly. You can not say we are moving forward and leave laws like this un-changed. LGBTQ+ should have the same right as Heterosexual people in the court room. People are getting away with harm and murder to the LGBTQ+ because of there sexuality which is an outdated clause and we should all be treated with respect and like human beings. Its the basic right of a human to a fair trial.
