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.

I didn’t vote for him, for the record.
Your “Conservative” Governor-elect in LA.
Nazi Faggotry. This is what happens when you elect Democrats. You will get Faggot Nazis imposing their will on you.
Did I miss something?
“Social Conservative Democrat”
The ultimate oxymoron - but the morons in LA believed it.
Now remind me again what was so bad about Vitter that Louisianans were willing to risk being the only Southern state with a rat governor for???
