The Senate passed historic gay rights legislation Thursday to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in the workplace, another victory for the gay rights movement that has been gaining favor in the courts and electoral politics.
Senators voted 64 to 32 to approve the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
The vote marked the first time lawmakers had approved legislation to advance gay rights since repealing the military’s ban on gay men and lesbians in uniform in late 2010 and came two days after Illinois became the 15th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Just four months ago the U.S. Supreme Court sanctioned federal recognition of legally married gay couples.
“Let freedom ring,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), the bill’s chief sponsor, said shortly before the vote.

Faggots defending faggots. what a stretch.
Every Republican Senator scumbag that voted for this just voted to raise employers’ cost of doing business, as the “gays” will not act overtly gay so as to not be hired and then sue the employer.
Every Republican Senator that voted for this is an enemy of America and American business. Take them out.
Take them out. Forcing over homosexuals into businesses that don’t want them and further destroying Judeo-Christian ethics.
Enemies of us and our children, each and every one of them.
I watched this this morning. The Senate opened with a prayer to God almighty. Then immediately went to this bill. It was surreal.
The devil sure is running wild in DC. But God will have the final say.
Yep. This is a post-Christian nation.
Meant to say:
Every Republican Senator scumbag that voted for this just voted to raise employers’ cost of doing business, as the “gays” will now act overtly gay so as to not be hired and then sue the employer.
Appeasing sodomites.
Hedonism brought down previous democratic societies, such as Greece and Rome. History repeats.
Interesting that Senator Lindsey Graham apparently voted no.”
Suck up time. He knew it would pass anyway so he and McConnell were likely given cover. Recd an email from Susan B. Anthony group. Graham is proposing a stronger anti-abortion bill. Can’t remember all the details. No one should be surprised. Next thing you know he will be sooooooooo against any amnesty. Beware of those bearing conservative appearing gifts when they are up for election.
Yep. Also the Freedom to violate the conscience, freedom of religion, speech and association of every Christian business owner in the United States. This is an ILLEGAL bill, and it must be stopped!
I’m glad that during this time of economic turmoil, our Senate is working on things that matter. :)
Wait. This is a better link, because it has Scooter’s homo zombies picture in it: http://www.worldnewsbureau.com/2013/11/night-of-the-living-enda.html
I’ve already called Heller’s (NV) office and told him he just lost four votes in this house! I won’t vote democrat, but I will leave it blank. I’m tired of these pretty boys!
Lindsey voted no because he is up for re-election. He knew it would pass without him, so he could afford a NO vote.
So I can hire who I want for whatever reason I want and I can NOT hire somebody based on their sexual perversions?
This guy is a special kind of stupid...and obviously irony impaired.
McLame supporting the perverts. No surprise there. The ultimate RINO.
Sucks....
Blows....
Whatever
People think it won't come knocking on their doors. After all, why would someone gay (or even liberal) even want to be around a Baptist, Catholic, or Orthodox Jew?
The problem is, there is always the one who wants to make a statement -- flaunt it in everyone's face.
Read Genesis 19 people. READ IT! What did the men of Sodom demand to do to the men who came to Lot's home? Even after Lot offered his daughters to the mob, what did they attempt to do?
THAT IS THE NATURE of that sin. Such sin is NEVER content to exist alongside morality or righteousness, yet Christians embrace it as a virtue of 'tolerance'. UNDERSTAND one of the REASONS God called it AN ABOMINATION is because it is the kind of prideful sin that will NOT co-exist with morality or normal sex as God intended.
Think of Homosexuality as the Jihadist Islam of sexual preferences. It will NEVER be content to simply be 'out of the closet'. It WILL seek to subjugate and force itself on whomever it chooses to force itself.
Even if they are angels.
