Obama to sign executive order protecting job rights for gay employees Order would ban federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity
Suren Gambino 16 June 2014 After years of pressure from gay rights groups, President Obama is set to sign an executive order that would ban federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, a White House official has told the Associated Press.
The Obama administration has said it would prefer Congress to pass legislation that broadly extends workplace protections to all US employees. Such a bill passed the Senate last year but remains stalled in the Republican-dominated House.
Discriminating against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity is not explicitly banned under US law, and Obama does not have the authority to extend such workplace protections to all US employees. He can, however, take action to bar employers from firing or harassing workers employed by companies that work with the US government because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. This would not require legislative approval.
A study by the Williams Institute thinktank at UCLA law school, found that the order would cover up to nearly 16 million workers and about 14 million workers would gain extra protections.
The White House said the order will build on previous orders that aim to ban workplace discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
The official did not say when Obama planned to sign the order – just that he has asked staff to prepare the draft for his signature.

My grandparents would’ve already been on the White House lawn and Capitol steps with tar & feathers, pitchforks, hempen rope and other equipment.
They won’t be satisfied until every church and Christian school in the nation has homosexual staff.
Given that this is an Obama order and not a law, what is the penalty for ignoring it?
I’d just like to give all of them an AK-47 and ship them to Iraq to take care of ISIS. I mean, if homos are as great as everyone says they are, they should be able to handle some stone age peasants, right?
Answer: NEVER HIRE THEM
Is the employee getting his job done? Is the employee working to help others complete their jobs? If not I don’t care what his persuasion, race or creed. He needs to go. And this includes you, Obama.
> The next non-Marxist POTUS needs to rescind every last one of Obama’s EO’s on the very first day in office.
He’s going to need 2 terms minimum to do it...
> So, basically....no matter how bad of a f***-up an employee is, you CANNOT fire them if they are homosexual.
You know what’s going to happen them? “I’m sorry we found a more qualified applicant”. No jobs or homos will be the end result of this idiotic legislation and it will be well deserved.
I have no use for queers, ‘body art’, ‘body adornments’,
or those foolish enough to tattoo their neck.
I wont hire them, because I have an impaired
immune system, and they are suspect.
Doable in the first 5 minutes, a blanket rescinding.
Geeez. If it ain’t the illegal alien, gangbanger “toddlers”, it’s the sexual deviants. What is it with these sicko DemocRATS! What a freak show.

Add Muzzies out of the administration and their activist cover groups including CAIR and any other organization that resembles it including the fake chamber of commerces they set up to infiltrate the business / political communities.
Let’s all just say we’re gay! Imagine all the protection we’d be afforded.
It’s nuts that THIS is what the federal government chooses to focus on continually. We are fools if we still believe gay people make up only a single digit % of the population.
I didn’t realize the Clown could create law out of thin air.
Whatever happened to Article I of the Constitution?
Lithen, Bath House Barry thinks the idea is fabulous..
Barry is a flamer.
Does this rule mean that a church daycare that takes SNAP/healthy snack funds has to be willing to hire a transgendered whatever?
Does a food bank receiving federal funds or surplus food have to hire an LBGTA in order to remain on the contract? After all, this rule seems to give preference to those who meet diversity quotas if not require it.
If a religious school refuse to tolerate a gay teacher as a violation of the code of conduct, are they no longer allowed to receive state and/or federal funds for disabled children they teach?
Ok Congress, when are you going to step up and call this guy on usurping your role as legislators? Unbelievable. Congress is bending over and being screwed in the hind quarters by this guy and apparently liking it, analogy intended.
