didn't they say in 20008 and 11-12 that jobs were number one after the other number one, sink Obama, mission not accomplished, but they are back again sporting the jobs agenda, good start to deny those jobs to part of the elctorate, republicans "you're doing a heck of a job', we'll send invitations 2014-16.
Although marriage equality advocates have found recent success, anti-LGBT job bias measures have been stalled in Congress and at the White House.
WASHINGTON — The LGBT movement scored a surprising wave of victories in marriage equality votes this November, but its efforts appear to have stalled on another front: job discrimination.Indeed, from a stalled bill to bar private employers from discriminating against LGBT employees or job applicants to President Obama’s continued unwillingness to sign an executive order barring federal contractors from anti-LGBT job discrimination, the national landscape for LGBT workplace protections appears falling behind other LGBT issues.Continued Republican control of the House means the Employment Non-Discrimination Act will again face an uphill battle in the 113th Congress. The choice of whether to push the Democratic Senate leadership for a full Senate vote on the legislation will be one of the key strategy decisions fought out among LGBT advocates in the coming months.
never fear folks the right wing has set about attracting more LGBT, Blacks and Hispanics wonder why they didn't mention Asians they hate them too?
i one big Kumbaya movement the right wing gave us another non binding pledge to embrace everybody, just wondering listening to the news andtalk shows how's that workin' out for them?
At a post-election wrap-up panel on LGBT issues organized by UCLA’s Williams Institute on Nov. 14, however, Freedom to Work’s Tico Almeida asked HRC president Chad Griffin why he hadn’t mentioned getting a floor vote in the Senate on the workplace bill, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, as a priority for 2013.
“Why not push for that as well?” Almeida, a former House staff counsel who worked on ENDA, asked. “Wouldn’t we do important public education and build momentum by getting that vote, even if we get to 57, 58, 59 votes? Let them filibuster, let them out themselves as on the wrong side of history.” A filibuster would require the bill's supporters to secure 60 votes to move forward.
republicans don't know why wee won't believe their new facade, maybe if the read their press they might gt a clue or not.
