Gay Rights Executive Order

Gay rights groups have revived their campaign for an executive order banning discrimination among federal contractors. They unsuccessfully lobbied President Barack Obama last year for a directive to protect employees at those companies from bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Obama declared his support of gay rights in his inaugural speech Monday. But a spokesperson said the White House isn't ready to issue an order. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said any directive would have to be structured narrowly because the sanction is usually debarment. It said businesses also would worry about new paperwork and enforcement requirements.

Here's what I don't get. I don't run around saying I'm a heterosexual nor would I expect it to be asked on a work application or credit application or any other place I would give my personal information to.

So how are these folks discriminated against? I just don't get it.

My advice is keep your sexuality to yourself. It's nobody's business and most people don't want to know.

I agree with 10:03.

Gay rights activists have been increasingly demanding these days and delusionally believe that they are more privileged than heterosexuals for some reason, and seemingly entitled to more rights than heterosexuals.

EQUAL rights aren't good enough. SPECIAL rights is what they want.
