LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden called on Congress Saturday to pass a measure to outlaw workplace discrimination against gays, saying it's outrageous that the country is even debating the subject.
Speaking to supporters of the gay advocacy group Human Rights Campaign on Saturday, Biden said it's "close to barbaric" that in some states, employees can be fired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
"Imagine 20 years from now as America looked back and say 'How in the hell can that ever been allowed?' The country's moved on, the American people have moved on," he said.
He said it was time for Congress to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act — known as ENDA — which would bar employers with 15 or more workers from using a person's sexual orientation or gender identity as the basis for making employment decisions, including hiring, firing, compensation or promotion. Religious institutions and the military would be exempted.

And how “barbaric” is it that millions of babies get slaughtered before they’re born?
How bout we just fire all employees who are a member of the democrat/MARXIST party Joe?
That way it won’t be considered racist OR homophobic.
Cull the friggin herd I say.
The Federal government just has them killed by Muslim mobs. Remember Ambassador Stevens?
What is barbaric is the Federal Government forcing employers to hire people they don’t want to hire!
Just to meet some artificial metric!
