John Bel Edwards will issue executive order protecting LGBT state employees
The (New Orleans) Times Picayune ^ | December 1, 2015 | Julia O'Donoghue

Posted on 12/01/2015 3:03:19 PM PST by abb

Gov.-elect John Bel Edwards plans to issue an executive order to protect the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community from firing, discrimination and harassment as state employees and government contractors.

Edwards' directive would cover state workers and government contractors in agencies and departments he oversees. But executive orders don't necessarily bind parts of state government outside the governor's control, such as the judiciary.

The Edwards' transition team did not provide a timeline for when the order might be issued, but the Democrat will be sworn into office Jan. 11. The governor-elect told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune directly a few weeks ago that he planned to sign such a document after he takes office. Two LGBT advocacy groups said Edwards has made similar commitments to them as well.

John Bel Edwards update. So much for the "Social Conservative Democrat" meme that some here were spouting.

It’s always stated and sold as “protect,” but in reality, it’s “elevate” and “prefer.”

One of the articles here said he was committed to his faith and his church.

I LOL’d.

Yes. Let us remember that each election when it is plastered all over a candidate. It’s bs.

Not that I would’ve voted for this guy anyway, he’s one of the rats.

Nazi Faggotry. This is what happens when you elect Democrats. You will get Faggot Nazis imposing their will on you.

Wait a second. I thought he ran as a conservative Democrat running to the right of Vitter.

Did I miss something?

“Social Conservative Democrat”

The ultimate oxymoron - but the morons in LA believed it.
