PHOENIX — A state legislator started a petition drive Friday to forbid all employers from discriminating against gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender individuals. Existing law prohibits discrimination based on a number of factors, including sex. The initiative by Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix, would define that term to also include gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation.

Sinema needs 153,365 signatures by July 3 to put the issue on the November ballot.

The legislator, who describes herself as bisexual, said she intends to start gathering signatures immediately

Kyrsten Sinema ... Kyrsten Sinema ... Kyrsten Sinema ... now where have I heard that name before...

Oh! Wait! Now I remember!

She is the one who wanted to categorize border watchers such as the Minuteman Civil Defense group as Domestic Terrorists.

GLBT

There's some new letter that they're adding to the end of that acronym, but I can't remember what it is - something like "undecided gender," I think.

Here we go again. Another specially-privileged group that can claim victim status anytime a member has any beef against normal people. No need to prove anything. Victim status means you can put any normal person in jail for whatever whim you have.

I heard it was a C for Confused. Meaning not swung over to the Dark-Side Yet to become a full-fledged GLBT.

They might as well throw bestiality and pederasty in there, too, and save the time it will take to rewrite the legislation again when those forms of freakishness are forcibly made to be socially acceptable.
