"The morning after the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling, we all woke up in a changed and intensified landscape of broad religious exemptions being used as an excuse to discriminate. We are deeply concerned that ENDA's broad exemption will be used as a similar license to discriminate across the country.

So they won’t support it because it’s not fascist enough. It doesn’t force EVERYBODY to adhere to their sick agenda and affirm their diseased way of life.

“Gay and lesbian”. Let me see now, is there a difference between being a homosexual male and a homosexual female? I mean other than the fact that they have different plumbing? A homosexual is a homosexual is a homosexual. A homosexual by any other name would smell the same according to Shakespearean poetry.
