President Barack Obama will sign an executive order on Monday barring federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, senior administration officials said.
The order will allow some exemptions for religious groups that are federal contractors but not as much flexibility as the groups had wanted.
A religious organization would be barred from making hiring decisions based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Exceptions would be allowed for ministers, and groups would be allowed to favor individuals of a particular religion when hiring.
The White House believes the order will help improve productivity by reducing fears among employees that they could be fired for being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.
"This is another case where doing what is right also helps businesses improve their bottom line," one official told reporters on a conference call.

Yeah, last I checked the Clown doesn’t get to write law.
So “order” all you want, it isn’t law. Period. Full stop. End of story.
Executive Orders though are fairly common.
They have to be a consequence of an actual law though.
Unfortunately many of our laws are fairly vague.

Is this POTUS allowed to sign EOs to prevent discrimination against himself, Reggie and probably 2/3 of the Administration?
I saw that study too. It needs to be repeated often.
I saw a Catholic Priest on late night tv a couple of months back who stated that 10% of the population was "gay" and therefore, it stands to reason that 10% of Priests are "gay" also. No one challenged his ridiculous assertions.
By the way, the moment I saw him, my queerdar started pinging.

A good investigative reporter/journalist should be able to grease a few palms in Chicago to get the real story about Obama and Man’s Country in that town. ........Supposedly, many people, including Rahm E. and other well-knowns were members their with Obama.
Who will protect the conservative tea party member from the IRS?
When will the man with the incredible shrinking ear size sign that executive order?
Is he “Orocchino”, a man whose ears get smaller each time he tells a lie?
