The Senate passed historic gay rights legislation Thursday to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in the workplace, another victory for the gay rights movement that has been gaining favor in the courts and electoral politics.
Senators voted 64 to 32 to approve the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
The vote marked the first time lawmakers had approved legislation to advance gay rights since repealing the military’s ban on gay men and lesbians in uniform in late 2010 and came two days after Illinois became the 15th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Just four months ago the U.S. Supreme Court sanctioned federal recognition of legally married gay couples.
“Let freedom ring,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), the bill’s chief sponsor, said shortly before the vote.

Sodomoite-loving Megyn Kelly and Ms. Sheppie Smith will be happy.
Very bad bill. Companies should be able to hire and fire whoever they please for whatever reason they want. Government interference. I’m actually gay, but 110% against this bill.
Great our country is going on a handbasket and these morons are more concern about Anal Sex.
So my son’s male fifth-grade teacher can come to school one day wearing a dress, declare his new “gender identity” to be female, and the kids and parents, upon threat of punishment, must all applaud and “celebrate”?
It would be a big help if Christians would start referring to this and other measures by what they really are; “Christian oppression” bills. There are no new rights to confer upon perverts.
Ooops. Looks like MaybeWeCan couldn’t.
What a shame. He had such a promising future as a Viking Kittie toy.
This garbage sickens me. Our military is already suffering the consequences of this PC crap. Male on male sexual assaults are UP.
Just buried my husband today with full military honors. He served at a time when the military’s mission was to destroy the enemy not to worry about Boy George in the next bunk
To: The poster once known as MaybeWeCan.
Subject: ButtHurt Form.
Dear: Mr./Mrs./Ms./Homosexual/Metrosexual/Bisexual/Lesbian/Transsexual/Cross-Dresser/Switch-Hitter/Ambiguous/Unidentifiable
Please complete and return the attached ButtHurt Form so that FR can retain a complete investigation record concerning your abruptly terminated presence on the FR forum, in our ZOT Investigation files.
While we provide this ButtHurt form so that you, and we, can identify exactly why you believe your Butt Hurts, please note that filling out the form WILL NOT ease the extremely seared flesh you now have on your posterior, caused by your recent Zotting on FR.
FR has the greatest sympathy for your now "fully-lit afterburner" situation, therefore we are notifying you that you may be eligible for ButtHurt coverage under the Hillary/Romney/Obamacare Healthcare system.
If you take immediate action to initiate your online account at the Hillary/Romney/Obamacare Healthcare system website, you may be able to get ButtHurt coverage, ummmmm .......... real soon.
Perhaps you will be one of the 8 people to actually get signed up for coverage, and your coverage will arrive in time to get some (extremely expensive) treatment for your, very soon to materialize, Giant Hinnie Scabbie.
If not, be sure and check the "Get a Redeemable Coupon for a Free Dishware Setting for Two" check box on the Website. It is reported that the President's Wife picked out the Dishware Setting design herself.
Some good news for you is that you now have a standing joke to tell your friends, i.e.,
Them: "Do you smoke?"
You: "Only after I get my Butt Zotted on FR!"
Them/You/Us: "Ha, Ha, Ha, that's really funny!"
Some bad news for you is that the Viking Kitties can smell Wackadoodles, ReTreads and other unsavory Trolls trying to participate on FR, every time they try it.
Perhaps you will have better luck next time by not picking such a pansy-assed signup name as MaybeWeCan. But then, HopeAndChange probably was automatically rejected by FR, eh?
Perhaps you should "lean forward" and try to sign up with something really bold, like "KnuckleDraggingRethuglican". That just might sneak past those ever vigilant Viking Kitties, eh?
P.S. You may be eligible to win the “Best Giant Hinnie Scabbie” Award for 2013. Just point your browser to www.igotmybuttzottedatfr.com and fill out an entry form.
Best of Luck to you on winning that award!
My condolences, katie. I appreciate his service and sacrifice. Thankfully, he didn’t have to serve under this regime and the regs they’re putting in place.
Thank you Jane. Guess he would want me to rip up the condolence letter from Obama. It sickens me what is happening to the military
Maybe he’ll retread, and we can chew on him some more. [smiles]
[waves] Hi, Windy. Nice to see you.
That's IF the boss will let him scurry around the floor a bit before he zaps the little booger .. LOL
Howdy, Lady. Good to see you too :-)
Do go on.
And tell us, do you agree with the APA on reclassing pedophilia as a sexual orientation?
It’s been another zot time in the old town tonight and I missed it AGAIN! Why, oh, why? Woe is me. I miss ALL the good stuff.
You need to get on the Viking Kitties ping lists.
[cough] Mine, for example! Just say the word. Darkwing104 has one, and so does Old Sarge.
WORD.
I usually miss out on all of the ZOT fun, too....typically IAfterTZ, but last night, getting to see The Boss himself execute a SuperZot - was glorious.
