The title is rather self-explanatory do you support or oppose the ENDA?
Employment Non-Discrimination Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I dont think that I can actually get on board with something of this nature because it is creating yet another special class 0of citizen that is offered protections because of their status. That is absolutely counter to what I believe in. I understand the laws that protected racial and sexual discrimination those are things that you wear on your skin. Things that are readily apparent and you cannot change. Sexual orientation is another animal altogether. It is not the color of your skin and is not overtly apparent. I dont think that this needs to be a protected class of person.
Those of you that know my posting here should be well aware that I have advocated many times for equal rights. I have always held that gay marriages should have the exact same status as straight marriages and there should be no governmental distinctions against gays but this is taking it too far for me. I dont think that they need special status. What do you think and why?
