Remember that time, roughly two months ago, when President Trump promised not to roll back an order protecting the rights of LGBTQ workers? Yeah, well, he lied. Surprise! On Monday, Trump signed an executive order revoking key parts of previous orders by President Obama, which had effectively banned federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Under Executive Order 13673, which Obama issued in 2014, companies receiving federal contracts in excess of half a million dollars were required to demonstrate they had complied with a set of 15 federal or state labor laws over the previous three years; several of those laws offered critical protections for LGBTQ workers. The measure, also known as the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order, was issued in conjunction with Executive Order 13672, the latter of which explicitly prohibited federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of gender identity or sexuality. Although Trump did not erase that order, his mandate to eliminate order 13673 cripples its effectiveness. By removing the requirement that companies prove their compliance with federal law, the government has no way to ensure they’re also following the nondiscrimination requirements Obama explicitly laid out. In other words, the president has created a major loophole that could allow companies to deny LGBTQ people opportunities or otherwise treat them unequally—and those organizations can still receive massive federal contracts.

Equal Rights, not Special Rights.
The trouble with those kinds of law is that the companies are OBLIGATED to hire those types to prove they are not discriminating, which discriminates against people who are not the protected type.
