Wait for the Christians to starts screeching that they are picked on because they have to hire ‘the faggots.’

“But we looovvvve them. Honest.”

Right the fuck on. You don’t believe all people are created equal? Then don’t do business with “We the People”.

The tolerant left is anything but… Just more time-wasting from a president whose incompetence is equal only to his opinion of himself.

Very smart move. Government shouldn’t attempt to accommodate religious bigotry nor promote sharia law.

How is a hiring order to prevent discrimination a waste of time? It could only be a waste if no discrimination ever exists (and there are plenty of statistics to counter that argument).

RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION Stays per these reports!
“Obama intends to amend Executive Order 11246, which prohibits federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, to add the categories of sexual orientation and gender identity,” Chris Johnson of the Washington Blade reported this afternoon. “Additionally, Obama plans to amend Executive Order 11478, which prohibits discrimination in the federal civilian workplace — and was already amended by President Clinton to include sexual orientation — to include gender identity.”

But the amendments also won’t repeal President George W. Bush’s amendment to EO 11246, which allows religious-affiliated federal contractors to discriminate on the basis of religion, officials said.

That’s not the same. Catholic charities can discriminate in favor of hiring Catholics, but they can’t discriminate against their gay Catholic employees, see?
