Anti-gay bigots are getting their clocks cleaned

Anti-gay bigots are getting their clocks cleaned - Salon.com

Today's vote on LGBT workplace protections showed Democrats using it as a wedge issue. And the right hiding in fear ...

By their actions today, Democrats and Republicans both made clear that they agree on something significant: Gay rights are currently a winning issue for Democrats and a losing one for the GOP.

So winning, in fact, that as the Senate approached a Thursday vote on workplace protections for gay and transgender workers, Majority Leader Harry Reid asserted that the GOP-controlled House of Representatives was going to have to “capitulate, if they have any hope” of nominating “a viable candidate” for president or “want to hang onto the House.”

Apparently, the GOP firebrands agree. When it came time for Senate Republicans to voice their objections to the bill before the procedural vote Monday: crickets. No “Green Eggs and Ham” from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. No showboating by the usual suspects. None of them wanted to take the floor against an anti-discrimination law that nearly 70 percent of Americans support and 90 percent believe already exists.

On the House side, an aide for Speaker John Boehner strenuously objected when the Huffington Post reported Monday that Boehner’s stated opposition to the Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA) dealt “a blow” to the bill’s chances of reaching the president’s desk.

“We have always believed this is covered by existing law,” the aide told Huffington Post, refuting the notion that Boehner’s position strayed from anything he had said in the past. “It’s a longstanding position, and, frankly, not ‘news’ at all.”

That's what they said about blacks and women. If it were true, they wouldn't mind passing the law.

As usual, they're lying.

"Getting there clocks cleaned"

 

[OKTexas]

Current law alread protects these folks, so why is the commiecrat party wasting time trying to play politics instead of addressing the fucked up maobamacare or jobs or how about a budget. Nope, lying assed campaign issues come before anything constructive, right?

 

[JohnL.Burke]

Why would anti-gay bigots want their... oh wait... you said CLOCKS cleaned... never mind.

 

[Mr. H.]

Conservatives aren't necessarily anti-Gay, but they are anti-you. The Lovely Nutless one.

You who foments hatred through division, with fabricated innuendo and inference.

Gays have been in the workplace for decades with little if any backlash.

Yet it is you, the Nutless fucktard, who chooses to bring this to the fight.

You continually bring strife, combat, and derision to topics that are otherwise moot.

You create fights where there are no fights, just to create an agenda rife with hate and divide.

You are a sick puppy.

Anyone that bases their defense of people's choices on the assumption that they do not have a choice are a hell of a lot more bigoted than the biggest racist asshole on the planet.

Nice commentary by a left wing site.
Who cares about this rubbish.
Look, there are tons of laws on the books which protect all kinds of people from illegal discrimination in the workplace. In fact many times members of the protected classes are hired by employers BEFORE those more qualified for fear of being hauled into court or having an EEOC complaint filed against them.
This latest escapade at political advantage for the dems is more nonsense. All such a law would do is open the flood gates to piles of frivolous and time consuming civil litigation.
Imagine this. A person who is obviously of one gender but claims to be the other, demands special accommodations. Such as a person with male parts, but claims he is a she and makes demands to use the women's rest room facilities while at work. The employer declines. Next thing the employer sees is a letter from an attorney representing the guy stating an intent to file a lawsuit. A suit under such a law, the employer cannot win.
No lawmaker in their right mind would want to bestow that can of worms on employers.
The law should be rewritten in such a manner as to take the open ended potential for litigation out and then resubmit for legislative vetting.
I am 100% opposed to outright denial of opportunity based on sexual orientation. What I also oppose is the Conga line into courtrooms of people looking to get paid off because they were "offended"....
SO you go ahead and make this into an issue of political advantage. You do this and you miss the entire point of making sure the rights of certain people are not used as doormats.
Seems all you care about on this issue is whether or not democrats and achieve a political victory. Sucks to be you.

My niece is gay, my cousin is gay, I have gay friends, I am not anti-gay.

Get the fuck over yourself, you sick-minded troll.

You can not blemish me with your hate. For I love my gay relatives and friends.

Take a big flying fuck... you fuck brained moron.

They’re also afraid.

Afraid of change, diversity, dissent, and personal expressions of individual liberty.

And in many cases the fear of being primaried.

I am afraid of change, but you think 3D printing should be restricted while I think it should be unregulated and available to everyone.

I don't need laws to make me not hate people. I leave hate to the small minded bigots that can't survive without the government to make sure they are safe from freedom.

Maybe in what's left of your sick little pea brain mind.
In 50 states ( 57 if you're an Obama sycophant like you) one can be fired for being stupid.
Guess than means you should clean out your desk.
