Posted on 12/29/2016 7:30:01 AM PST by C19fan

Letter from HRC Foundation President Chad Griffin IN 2016, THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY WAS subjected to unprecedented attacks – from state lawmakers plotting to undermine our historic gains, to tragic, unimaginable experiences of violence, to those who pledged to roll back our rights from the highest offices in the land.

My employer today touted its perfect score of 100 for LGBT policies. So far I have not been personally affected, for example, being forced to attend mandatory re-education camps...yet.

But you are being impacted. Your company, like mine, is probably allowing same-sex partners to be included on health care coverage. That's an extra expense driving costs up for everyone...and given the fact that homosexuals engage in riskier behavior, that's more expensive.

The propaganda is there in posters and monthly recognitions of this agenda.

It's happening my friend, it's happening.

I’m kind of surprised that anyone would do this sort of thing. There are plenty of people out there who would love to work for a company that got a score of 0 for their LGBT policies.

From Hillary's financial backers!

The problem I have with it is you can’t question the morality of it. I often ask why don’t we celebrate adultery or drug use at my company? In the eyes of some, these choices are ok. You should see the looks.

I like the label, the human rights campaign, used to cover specifically for the male queers that engage in fecal consumption and the rampant abuse and rape of little boys. Trading diseases is their game.

When I worked at T-Mobile corporate, it definitely affected me. I bicycle commuted and showered at the same time one of my work mate’s sexual pervert “husband” showered.

For me, the LOWER the sexual perversion equality is at a company, the more desire I have to work there.

Will companies stop caring when the government stops caring?

If the government stops collecting data of corporate diversity, etc., will companies eliminate the VP of Diversity position and decide to refocus on making profits for shareholders?

It's pretty easy to get a "perfect" score, all you have to do is fudge on a few questions. /joke

This has been pushed in the workplace by federal contract guidelines that give preference to companies that have a high score on the Out and Equal Index, which is why all the top 4 defense contractors had a 100% score in it two years ago.
It is cheaper to hire some SJWs for HR and socially engineer the workforce than build cheaper jets or more effective equipment.

My former employer changed Presidents, and the new guy was WAY into LBGT.
There were several diversity lessons consisting of a homosexual man talking about coming out, his coworkers supporting him, his boss supporting him, leaving his wife and children ... note, these were different men in different sessions.
In one session, the discussion was on sympathy and support, and I said I sympathized with his wife and four children. What? I said it was tragic he made this choice and left them.
“He didn’t have a choice!”
“He had enough of a choice to make four children in ten years.”
“His family supports him.”
“His oldest child is ten. They don’t understand what the father is doing except maybe breaking up the family.”
I was reprimanded by HR for this. I asked the HR rep after a separate lecture of “yeah, everyone supports the dissolution of my family” at what point this celebration of adultery was sexual harassment for everyone else. The reply was it COULD NOT BE offensive because they were the minority and oppressed.
I tried going another route about how they were violating people’s privacy by bringing up the issues and then demanding people endorse X view, was told this was tolerance. I mentioned my religious views and this was a violation of it. That was irrelevant.
They had a woman talking about her husband wanting to cheat on the side with a man but stay together for the children, what does she do? This was a private discussion in a public area. Several people gave her info on straight spouses of homosexuals support groups. I said I would understand tolerating a man cheating whether with a man or a woman in order to keep the family together, but take steps to avoid him using her money to fund his side activities and protect against disease, and if she didn’t want to tolerate adultery, I could refer her to a good divorce attorney. That was reported to HR, and they actually debated the acceptability of it. My advice was gender neutral, but was dinged for using the judgemental term of adultery.
Note - this was at a divorce contractor where cheating on your spouse and sexual behavior that can get you blackmailed for is a violation of your security clearance. And management was not only tolerating it but endorsing it.

Thank God Trump won. This can all get deflated in the private sector by him changing federal guidelines’ interpretations, so companies don’t have the financial incentive to push this BS in the workplace. The side benefit is ending this lucrative source of money for various X-studies departments because the professional grievance-mongers are hired to do bigoted diversity presentations or fill out government reports on diversity.

My Employer had a perfect 100 as well. I looked at our competitors and about 90% of them made the list...

There is a flip side to this list. We can patronize companies like Harley Davison, Murphy Oil, and Dick's Sporting Goods, that are underperformers on the LGBTQWERTY list.

Most definitely, and I do so whenever possible.

Or I go without when necessary.

I would expect that most companies now require same-sex partners to get married in order to get benefits.

For a long time, companies were offering these benefits to unmarried same-sex partners, because they were legally barred from marriage.

But now that marriage is legal for same-sex partners, there is no reason not to require them to get married.

Which is probably a negative impact on a good number of same-sex couples, who enjoyed being able to live together but file their taxes separately.

I wonder what the response would have been if you had said to the HR person

“why is it OK to cheat on my spouse with a same sex partner and thus violate the terms of my security clearance that I need in order to work here?”

You mentioned “ cheating on your spouse and sexual behavior that can get you blackmailed for is a violation of your security clearance.”

I brought that up to one HR rep. Was told it isn’t a violation if the other spouse knows about it, is only a danger if you can be blackmailed, so if it is all consensual and in the open, not a problem.
