Proposed Executive Order Could Ban Anti-LGBT Discrimination By Government Contractors
| "The Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, has been kicking around the government in various iterations since 1994, and since 2009 has included language protecting transgender people from workplace discrimination. ENDA's never been signed into law, and given the current state of Congress, it won't be anytime soon. But! As a stop-gap measure, the executive branch can at least ensure that government contractors don't discriminate against their employees, and grant same-sex families the same benefits afforded to straight ones."

Quote Of The Day - Miley Cyrus
| "I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color? We all should be tolerant of one another and embrace our differences. My dad, who is a real man's man, lives on the farm and is as Southern and straight as they come. He loves my gay friends and even supports same-sex marriage. If my father can do it, anyone can. This is America, the nation of dreams. We're so proud of that. And yet certain people are excluded. It's just not right." - Miley Cyrus, writing for Glamour Magazine. Via JMG |
