President Barack Obama will sign an order banning federal government contractors from discriminating against gay and transgender workers, officials have said.
The executive order follows years of pressure from gay rights groups.
Mr Obama cannot extend the protection to all American workers, however.
The order comes after far broader anti-discrimination legislation stalled in the Republican-led House of Representatives.
The executive order will apply only to federal contractors, which employ nearly one-quarter of the US workforce.

Meantime the Benghazi four await justice in another world, which is probably the only place they will get it; the vets await medical care and receiving their vets monthly benefits (because their apps have been on somebody's desk for 2,3 years); widows of vets who died of service connected injuries await their pensions-same reasons-no determination on cases in spite a federal lawsuit and fed judge telling them to get busy; the middle east burns while leader of the free world golfs; the IRS and Erich Holder march on-but not to the border.

Unless there are people who are willing to stop him, he has the "power" to do just about anything he wants. He may not have the "authority", but he clearly has the "power."
And all the gay employees of the federal branch of government, should appreciate this, as that is the only bunch, this will CONSTITUTIONALLY apply to.
F U Obama and all of your EO’s. You should shove them all where the sun don’t shine, you POS.
Clinton started all this. If a Adulterer is ok, what’s next? They keep chipping away at the foundations.
Elections?
Romney was more pro-gay, he has supported Gay Scout leaders and homosexualizing the military for at least 20 years, he gave America gay marriage, and he campaigned on being better to accomplish the homosexual agenda than Ted Kennedy.
Mitt Romney:
“I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for Americas gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.
I am not unaware of my opponent’s considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.
We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.
As we begin the final phase of this campaign, I need your support more than ever. By working together, we will achieve the goals we share for Massachusetts and our Nation.”
Sincerely, W. Mitt Romney
Because homosexual rights is the most important issue ever! Hell, more important than Mexico holding a Marine for taking a wrong turn into Mexico.
Is there, at this point, any doubt that Bam-Bam the Communist Usurper is himself a sodomite?
It’s no longer the “FEDERAL” Governemnt, it’s now the “FERAL” Government!!
>>Genesis 19. They are surrounding our house to make demands - and this time we have no Angels present to lead us out of here before the Lord’s Judgment falls on the country.
We probably do, but most people (even church-going Christians) don’t want to hear their message because it extends into sins well beyond and much more common than sodomy. Our lust, greed, and idolatry is a much greater evil than the butt pirates and carpet munchers.
Seeding the field for litigation.
To me, the larger issue is the fact that Fedzilla employs (directly or indirectly) nearly one-quarter of the US workforce. That’s the real problem.
Another fundraiser?
He just left one on the left coast.
And where is the money going? And to whom.
He had to clear it through Larry Sinclair first and then Jeremiah Wright, both being old bathhouse buddies of Barry Bathhouse.
Plus he just spent Father’s Day weekend at the Palm Springs mansion of two gay decorators who did over the White House.
What’s up with Barry? Is he getting ready to come out? Trying to get ahead of somebody else outing him? Or does he just enjoy the company of LGBT types?
Still wondering if these fruity deals are payment for gay groups keeping quiet on the death of Ambassador Stevens. If a Republican President was in charge they would be screaming for his head daily over it.
Revolt is coming.
Revolt is coming.
I will simply not obey, period.
Do Federal workers include the military? Will they all shower together like in Starship Troopers? What if space aliens want to become American? Shouldn’t Obama extend a welcoming hand now with an executive order to pull them out of the shadows? Why did that random US census survey I filled out earlier this year force me to select male or female? Boy, we’ve got a long way to go before we are all categorized and equalized. One of us, one of us, one of us...
