Joe Biden: 'Close to Barbaric' That Businesses Can Fire Gay Employees
Breitbart ^ | 3/23/14 | ap

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden called on Congress Saturday to pass a measure to outlaw workplace discrimination against gays, saying it's outrageous that the country is even debating the subject.

Speaking to supporters of the gay advocacy group Human Rights Campaign on Saturday, Biden said it's "close to barbaric" that in some states, employees can be fired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

"Imagine 20 years from now as America looked back and say 'How in the hell can that ever been allowed?' The country's moved on, the American people have moved on," he said.

He said it was time for Congress to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act — known as ENDA — which would bar employers with 15 or more workers from using a person's sexual orientation or gender identity as the basis for making employment decisions, including hiring, firing, compensation or promotion. Religious institutions and the military would be exempted.

Yeah... we won’t be passing ENDA at all. DOA in the House thankfully, and once we have the senate, we’ll have a good buffer against this Marxist crapola.

Biden beclowns himself on the world stage. I’d like to see him make this statement in Riyadh!

I have a better idea. Ban Biden. When I had employees, I didn’t ask what their preference was. I asked if they can do the job.

I’ll bet Joe thinks it’s almost as Barbaric as letting a Child who survives an Abortion die on the table.

His Boss certainly doesn’t.

"Vice President Joe Biden called on Congress Saturday to pass a measure to outlaw workplace discrimination against gays, saying it's outrageous that the country is even debating the subject." --------------- Really, Joe? out·ra·geous (out-rā′jəs) adj. 1. Grossly offensive to decency or morality, being well beyond the bounds of good taste: outrageous epithets. 2. Having no regard for morality. 3. Violent or unrestrained in temperament or behavior.
