Gov. Sam Brownback rescinds protected-class status for LGBT state workers in Kansas
Kansas City Star ^ | February 10, 2015 | BRYAN LOWRY -

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed an executive order Tuesday rescinding a protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender state workers put into place eight years ago by then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

Sebelius’ executive order in 2007 said state workers could not be discriminated against, fired or harassed because of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Brownback, a Republican, issued an additional executive order affirming that state employees could not be discriminated against because of their race, religion, gender, age or country of national origin.

“This Executive Order ensures that state employees enjoy the same civil rights as all Kansans without creating additional ‘protected classes’ as the previous order did,” Brownback said in a short statement that did not specifically refer to sexual orientation or gender identity. “Any such expansion of ‘protected classes’ should be done by the legislature and not through unilateral action.”

Homosexuals losing "protected class" status in Kansas. As usual, some republicans are nervously backing away to hold hands with the democrats.

You’re going to see self-inflicted hoax “hate crimes” like you’ve never seen them before.

He should add that “Kansas expects high standards of professionalism in its employees. We won’t tolerate State employees making a public display of their sexual preferences at work.”

Special legal status for a tiny group while the vast majority of Kansans have no such special status?

It’ll be interesting to see the USSC twisted into knots defending that.

I pray for the day when president Cruz will use his executive orders to undo those of Obama.

How long until pedophiles are going to join the ranks of the protected class? They are after all just another sexual orientation.

After all the hoopla being spewed about how beneficial it is to celebrate and embrace sexual orientation diversity, how can the government say No to pedophiles?

Answer, they cannot say No to them. The government just cannot say Yes to pedophiles just quite yet.

Celebrating and embracing pedophilia will have to be phased in incrementally. I wonder when TV sitcoms will begin showcasing the pedophilia character and timing his spoken lines to the laugh-track??

Hurrah! Granting the “all people are equal but the LGBT are more equal” upon anyone, especially those actively choosing to disregard Torah, is an ObamaNation.

All of what bozo has done needs to be overturned and that includes all the social crap he has done to damage the country while appeasing the perverts and mentally sick.
