But in past weeks, the bills have drawn vocal protest from religious leaders around the state who believe the slate of religious legislation will violate the First Amendment and create a hostile environment for religious minorities in Alabama public schools.Steve Silberman, a rabbi who has worked at a synagogue in Mobile for 35 years, testified at a March committee hearing that he is concerned the Ten Commandments bill “unfairly sidelines Alabamians who may have diverse views of religious traditions.”

On Thursday, many legislators came forward in support of the bill.“If you look around our nation, if you look around the world, we see so much of our Western civilization crumbling because we have forsaken the roots and foundations upon which we were built,” Republican Rep. Ernie Yarbrough said.On the same day, representatives also swiftly passed two separate bills that would ban drag performances at public schools and libraries without parental consent, and ban teachers from displaying pride flags or facilitating formal discussion on LGBTQ+ issues.

Rep. Neil Rafferty, Alabama’s only openly gay legislator, testified against the bill.“When we ban their identities from the classroom, we are telling them that the best they can hope for is silence,” Rafferty said.

He added, “I won’t help silence them, because I’ve been there, because I know what that silence feels like.”

Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and North Carolina are among the states with versions of Alabama’s existing “Don’t Say Gay” law,The “room salon” is a long-standing symbol of South Korea’s male-oriented nightlife culture. The expensive, private karaoke bar where hostesses drink and sing with male customers abruptly emerged as a hot election issue.

Lee’s party alleged a judge handling Yoon’s rebellion trial visited one of the bars in affluent southern Seoul last year with two unidentified people. It said his companions paid the bill and they were likely linked to his work as a judge, representing a conflict of interest.The judge, Jee Kui-youn, has been at the center of bipartisan wrangling since he approved Yoon’s release from prison in March and allowed him to stand his trial without physical detention.

“We should strip him of his judge robe,” party spokesperson Noh Jongmyun said. “Isn’t it preposterous for him to serve as chief judge for the rebellion trial where the fate of Korea’s democracy lies?”Jee denied the allegations, saying that like many ordinary people he enjoys “samgyeopsal,” grilled pork bellies, and “somaek,” shots mixing beer and the traditional Korean liquor soju.
