See, this is what makes me angry!
The signing of the EO on Monday which means that companies wishing to work for the federal Government no longer have to show they comply with non-discrimination legislation for their workforce and which specifically called out for LGBT protection has been swallowed up by all the other crap.
No one knows this has happened because everyone is talking about Russia and Nunes and Obamacare and any of the many other horrific fuck ups so this one slips under.
Other characteristics such as race, sex, national origin etc are protected through other federal legislation but if you're LGBT, this was pretty much it. And now you can get a Government contract even if you actively discriminate against someone whose only 'crime' is not conforming to some societal and religious bullshit around who you should love.
And that EO that opens this wider which was discussed many weeks ago is still bubbling around so the fact this one was signed with minimal outrage opens the door to slide that one through.
There's too many awful and inexcusable things happening that something this awful can be ignored. Fuck this
