Senate resolution apologizes to ‘hundreds of thousands’ of LGBTQ federal employees
The Hill ^ | 06/19/2024 | BROOKE MIGDON

The federal government could soon apologize for actions that discriminated against LGBTQ government workers as far back as 1949 under a resolution filed Tuesday by Senate Democrats.

Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) are leading the resolution, which has 18 Democratic co-sponsors. The duo sponsored an identical resolution in 2021.

Kaine in a statement on Tuesday said the resolution reaffirms a commitment “to righting our past wrongs” and advancing LGBTQ equality nationwide.

“LGBT civil servants, foreign service officers and service members have made countless sacrifices and contributions to our country and national security. Despite this, our government has subjected them to decades of harassment, invasive investigations and wrongful termination because of who they are or who they love,” he said.

From reading history, and the Bible (which is a history as well), I would say the things you mention are all absolutely connected and causal.

I think it’s a bigger concern that we have hundreds of thousands of alphabet people in the federal government.
Talk about the potential to be compromised.

Tammy Baldwin (D, Lesbian, WI) is clearly RATTLED that SOMEONE WOULD DARE RUN AGAINST HER in this upcoming election. She’s like a friggin’ Groundhog who only pokes her nose out when it’s election time.

I’m not 100% sold on Eric Hovde yet, but Tammy is as useless as teats on a boar.

More apologies....
Paganism, sacrifice of pre-born babies, celebration of same sex combinations as “marriage.”

Will they kneel in the US Capitol as they did for George Floyd?

“Every knee shall bow” was about someone else.

“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:10-11

‘hundreds of thousands’

It would seem that one group is a tad-bit over-represented in government employment roles.

Even worse in the current military. When I was in the army, known homos were discharged out. Now, they're "celebrated".

“Kaine’s resolution explicitly mentions the more than 100,000 LGBTQ service members who historians estimate were forced out of the U.S. military because of their sexual orientation or gender identity between WWII and 2011.”

That’s about 65 years or so. I suspect many more were forced out for other reasons. Drop in the bucket even if you believe their statistic and their premise which I don’t.

I would not want to share a foxhole with a LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ since they have already proved to be mentally unfit. Would they shoot the enemy or me?

Other than the Regional Security Officers I met everyone at the State Department was openly gay. I think is was a job requirement, happily I never applied and did not have to go through the oral interview process.

Its not much wonder why the world thinks we are insane.
