Public services will also use the procurement process "to improve equality." Suppliers will be expected to demonstrate they have a diverse workforce.
The new Equality Duty will require public authorities to advance equality of opportunity for transsexual people. For example, if a local authority notices that there are no support groups for people undergoing gender reassignment in their area it can fund a charity to help reach out to the transsexual community.
The legislation will widen the definition of gender reassignment to make it clear that a person does not have to be under medical supervision to be protected from discrimination and protect people who face discrimination because of their association with transsexual people, for example, as their partner.
The bill also extends into the workplace. Employers can choose to make their workforce more diverse when selecting between two job candidates who are equally suitable. In other words, they can pick an LGBT candidate because of their sexual orientation or gender identity on diversity grounds.
How long will it be before the 0bama “administration” follows? How can they possibly resist?
I believe I see the problem here. Chances are that if your society actually has an "equalities minister", it is already doomed.

The bill also extends into the workplace. Employers will be bludgeoned and harassed into making their workforce more homosexually-oriented when selecting between two job candidates who are wildly unequal in terms of qualifications. In other words, they will be required to pick an LGBT candidate because of their sexual orientation or gender identity on political-correctness grounds.
While the ship of our economy is stalled in the doldrums and taking on water, maybe these leftist idiots will pause to look at how their counter-productive lunacy put us here. Then again, probably not.
“Equality Bill”
please.
And probably gays, too.
Hasn't it been demonstrated enough that Affirmative Action is a disaster?
Great. The solution to years of “discrimination” (which is nowhere near as bad as is claimed) is to ...err...do more discrimination!
Two wrongs DO make a right!! Woo-hoo!
