This is hilarious, you need government to pat you on the back and tell you that you're OK and you're asking ME if I need a tissue? LOL, girl, the need for government validation, now that is sad.
That's what this executive order is about. Liberals needing to be validated by the collective. Why would your employer even know you're gay?
myself, I think this just breeds more hate against them with government showing Favoritism towards them over the rest of the people, but they don't seem to care. so I'm not going to care either
How is the government showing favoritism by treating them exactly like people are treated regardless of race, religion, country of origin, gender, age, veterans status etc (all Federally protected, Steph)? Do you hate all those people because you can't fire them like you hate gays because they're protected by Federal workplace laws too?
Which laws? The U.S. as a whole has always been employment at will. Montana, I believe, is the only state where an employed must show cause. Most states have some restrictions, such as prohibiting the firing of whistle-blowers, and 36 states have an "implied contract" rule where if the employee can show there was an implied contract of employment then those terms must be met, but that can be hard to prove. Employment at will is the standard for the U.S... as we ALREADY had laws on the books that provided ALL of us these protections...
What exactly is he signing??
An Executive Order barring companies contracted with the government from discriminating based on sexual orientation or gender identity. It basically adds sexual orientation and gender discrimination to existing Federal hiring and contracting rules.
NLT brings up a good point...I know, I'm shocked too...but should she not get a job or get fired because she's so obviously a "dyke", especially when the redneck that wouldn't hire her would hire a dude that looks just like her?
Either you don't get to fire me for being gay or I get to fire Christians for being Christians. Fair enough?
In extending the new protections, Mr. Obama is building on two longstanding executive orders. He is adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protections that apply to federal contractors and that were approved by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. And he is adding gender identity as a protected category to a 1969 directive by President Richard M. Nixon that applies to federal employees, which was later amended by President Bill Clinton to include sexual orientation.
"Dictator" Obama is just adding "the gheys" to "dictator Johnson and Nixon's" EOs.
You missed this part:
President George W. Bush had amended Johnson's order in 2002 to allow religious groups to hire and fire based upon religious identity. Churches also are able to hire ministers as they see fit. The senior administration officials said Obama will not change those exemptions.
Yup, well aware and agree completely. Not a lot of churches contract with the government do they?
ummmm only 59% of the (adult civilian non-institutional) population is employed. The UE rate is the percent of the Labor Force (employed plus unemployed), not percent of the population.Keep it up liberals, make 3% of the population happy. While the rest are looking for a job or wondering when they will eat next. Thanks for handing us the house in 2014, and the presidency in 2016! Obama's laser like focus. Lol
Isn't the current unemployment rate down to 6.1% (June 2014)? That means that people like you described are not part of the 93.9% of the people who are employed.
About what? That the policy remains the same for all minorities? How am I wrong about that?
You don't remember claiming that there aren't that many churches that get money form the federal government?
And Kaz made the same claim. You still haven't posted any actual numbers to back up yours. How many churches?
Obama being that great UNITER again
what group of people hasn't he showered favors on yet?
I wonder how the MAJORITY of people feels certain groups get their OWN LAWS bestowed on them?
So you believe that adding gays to existing legislation protecting other minorities is "showering favors"?
He made a campaign promise and now he's kept it.
I support equality. Why is that such a difficult concept to grasp? There are Federal hiring and firing protections for minorities are there not? Either get rid of them all or include the gays in them, it's that simple.
Not simple, simplistic. And as such, naive. Free markets protect minorities. Government oppresses. The idea that you can give politicians and bureaucrats the monopolistic use of force to unilaterally impose their will and they will use that power to protect minorities is just delusional.
Either way, it's my argument, which you consistently fail to address. You just continue to strawman words into my mouth and commit the logical fallacy of begging the question with your arguments. You can Google what that means, I'm not explaining it to you again. But a rational argument goes with addressing what I actually said and not assuming the truth of your own position that government prevents any discrimination.
Right, you think the free market protections minorities (although that has worked where?) but are not doing anything about it except "thinking" and "talking". Have you EVER called your legislator to demand that all non discrimination laws and policies be done away with? Hell, ever even started one of those useless online petitions? No, you just bitch and moan because gays get treated like other minorities.
Good luck with your fight against anti-discrimination laws...that isn't really a fight, just a bitch session.

The only place the free market didn't protect minorities is when the government stepped in and made it illegal for them to do so.
Feel free to attempt to prove me wrong.
Either you don't get to fire me for being gay or I get to fire Christians for being Christians. Fair enough?
My God, you are just stupid. I apologize for giving you a hard time. I thought you were being difficult. But you really are just that stupid. Yes, I believe you can fire someone for being gay, Christian, not gay, having blue eyes or whatever you want. The marketplace protects workers, the government oppresses everyone.
I don't know how many times I can tell you that for it to sink in. I will no longer take you seriously, so we're good.
You people are full of it
whatever, you don't care how it looks to the REST of the people in the country, so be it
"You people"?
And I just showed you what the "REST of the people in the country" think about it. Why are you ignoring it?
oh please you can find any poll to fit your views

I realize that is what you "believe"...good for you. I can't fire a Christian because Federal Law prohibits it. Either gays get added to existing protections or all protections get removed. You want them all removed, so call your legislator.
Glorious.
"You can't force me to bake a gay wedding cake!"
Actually, yes. Yes we can. Thus saith President Obama.
Such delicious conservatard tears.
