Steve King: Gays Wouldn't Face Discrimination If They Didn't 'Wear Their Sexuality On Their Sleeve'
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) says he has a simple solution to stop employment discrimination against gay people, and it sounds a lot like "don't ask, don't tell."
During a discussion Tuesday with the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), legislation designed to prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, King called the bill a "violation of the individual rights of employers to, at their own discretion, decide who they want to hire, who they want to fire."
King relayed an anecdote that outlined his solution for the problem of workplace discrimination:
And [State Sen. Jerry Behn] said, "let me ask you a question. Am I heterosexual or am I homosexual?" And they looked him up and down, actually they should have known, but they said, "We don't know." And he said, "Exactly, my point. If you don't project it, if you don't advertise it, how would anyone know to discriminate against you?" And that's at the basis of this. So if people wear their sexuality on their sleeve and then they want to bring litigation against someone that they would point their finger at and say, "You discriminate."
The legislation, King said, would serve as "entrapment that is legalized by the ENDA act," which would unfairly impact conservative businesses and organizations.
King laid out a potential scenario to back up his theory:
"I can imagine someone coming in and interviewing one day in man's clothes and come back the next day and apply for a job in woman's clothes and then setting up a lawsuit in a sting operation that could harass especially our religious organizations, but anybody, anybody that's operating in a responsible fashion."

Maybe I should just cut my hair, bind my breasts, wear pants, and act like a man if I don't want to be discriminated against based on my gender. Maybe all those black folks in the Civil Rights Movement should have just lightened their skin. Then they wouldn't have had so many problems. :roll:
And does he actually think people will be dressing in drag and setting up sting operations??
This is just another example of the discrimination that seems to me to be getting worse in this society. :(
WHY do they do that?
a man and a woman kissing in public is perfectly fine
?
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
Well yeah.... because we have no idea what their sexual preference is! :roll:
oh, right, right....silly me
flipping around the other night fox was going on about the sanctity of marriage and normally i watch fox more than any other network because it's so damned amusing (like if you think of glenn beck as a fake news show and just comedy it's pretty entertaining) but i couldn't bear hearing them prattle on about it for very long.
i thought marriage was about the love and bond between 2 people?

i just need to say
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
you didn't sit down as a teenager with a pros & cons chart about liking either sex? oh... me neither...
What a joke this guy is.... probably one of those Republicans who will complain about how liberals are trying to tell people how to live...
was like a picture

I'm sincerely sorry for the homosexual community for constantly having to put up with endless ignorance. Leave it to a major ass-hat to be a policitian.

Didnt check when the thread was started, dont understand your question, and just expressing how angry I feel about this topic. But what you wrote is much more interesting. I do like your Obama/Bush pic though, thats pretty cool.
