"Rep.
Todd Akin (R-MO) is departing the House at the end of this year, but he's trying to force some of his odious anti-gay rhetoric into law before he goes.
Earlier this year, he proposed an amendment to the defense budget that would create a "license to bully" for military personnel, essentially guaranteeing that anybody who has a problem with LGBT people can't be disciplined for it, even if they're engaging in blatant discrimination or harassment."*
