This will mean that you have to hire all gays who apply, and will never be able to fire one, or lose millions of dollars.
Let me get this straight (hey! I made a joke!)... The White House (isn’t the term itself - ‘White’ - racist, by the way? You know, lily-white versus black magic, etc...) wants laws to ‘protect’ a minuscule minority that already is adequately protected by existing legislation?
What I want is laws protecting the ‘other’ 97% from being forced to embrace and endorse this aberrant behavior.
Homosexual men are, statistically, higher paid than straight men.
This is a control issue.
Funny, I think anyone should be able to discriminate for whatever reason they wish.
I hope this homo thing will finally put that non-discrimination mythos to rest.
I’m 51 years old and I’ve been working since I was 13, I’ve have had countless different jobs, everything from newspaper delivery boy to lawyer. Just name a job I’ve done it, and I can’t recall one of those jobs ever asking me what my sexual preference was. But of course leave it to liberals to imagine that they do.
Was this it? Or did he tke questions on the Russian shoot down, the border collapse, the terrible economy, the IRA scandal, the Holder contempt, The Gaza missle firings....
Nope, last week it was fundraisers, this week it’s gay rights. He really has his finger on the important issues.
This would be an absolute violation of the First Amendment.
but on the wrong side of theology ...
"In much of the country"...Please give me one example of that, name me one company you freakin' fraud . That's right, we don't need proof, we should just take the liar in chiefs word that this goes on.
This seems a red herring to me! The facts are Homo’s do better per capita financially than single men, or married couples. Some stereotypes are true, homo men are free to pursue financial security more directly because they generally have fewer obstacles in business because they have fewer family responsibilities. If they are a couple, they generally are two major bread winners. There is a reason why homo couples dominate home rehab tv shows.
Also I am not using homo as a pejorative, I’m just to lazy to type homosexual more than once!
Make any law you want. We will not comply.
Why would I hire anyone that talks about sex in a job interview or before they even even get the job?
This is really important?
Prediction .... future applications for federal contracts will require information as to how many homosexuals, transsexuals, etc ... are currently employed. Obama sure does pay close attention to matters involving gays ... gee ... I wonder why .
I bet the black community is pleased with his effort to help gays.
Really. Is there a big anti-gay hiring out there??? I seriously doubt it. What this is really about is forcing companies to hire the freaks that chop up their bodies and take hormones.
..in the Federal gov’ment, and contractors.
*** Mr. Obama noted that in much of the country, companies can fire employees based on their sexual orientation.****
It is called, “Hire at will, fire at will.” Most companies I worked for did it. They hire you and let you go when the job is done or when they don’t want you anymore. No excuse needed to let you go.
How about job bias agaisnt heretosexuals? I’m sure if I said that homosexuality wS wrong at my place of employment that I would be promptly fired.
Right side of history. I am sick to death of that arrogant phrase.
