“The Christian (esp. Catholic, Mormon, Evangelical, and Southern Baptist) in this country are going to face a violent wake up call soon”

Violent wake up call……….sounds to me that you are a violent hater yourself. Just because people of faith disagree with your “alternative” livestyle which is not “normal” you claim they are “haters” and you use such hateful words like

“Rethuglican, conservative, right-wing, religious fanatics”
“Taliban”
“bigots and their families”

“When they have to pay a price, they might start to rethink their actions”
the same can go for you as well, Cameron Robert

Really, this isn’t about gay rights. The left doesn’t give a damn about gay rights. The left hasn’t done anything for the gay community except to offer it lip service and inaction. While leftist groups fight for “marriage equality” the Obama administration makes marriage an economic hit with horrible policy. You got bait and switched, leftists!
No, the left cares nothing for gay rights, but they’ll pretend to if they can use the bloc as a wedge to pry the populace from the influence of the church. Why? because it’s easier to convince people that their civil liberties fall under the dominion of man, of government, if the church is portrayed as inept and anachronistic. This is the entire goal. Once man, sinful, awful man controls your rights, your existence as an individual ends and your life as a statist serf begins.

I'll be surprised if Boehner allows this bill to proceed. If he did, it would send a positive message to the LGBT community. If he doesn't, then he is a lost cause. This bill is a pretty minimal thing and not really controversial anymore except with religious fundamentalists. If Boehner balks, we should try to get 218 members to vote on a discharge petition to bring ENDA to the floor. At least that would put people on the record as to who are our friends and enemies. There are at least some Republicans (especially those in suburban districts) who would not want their name associated with a defense of discrimination.

I'll never understand why Rethuglican, conservative, right-wing, religious fanatics think they can force other normal people to accept their deviant views and lifestyle. They love to tell other people how to live their lives, while their own lives are in shambles. The Christian (esp. Catholic, Mormon, Evangelical, and Southern Baptist) Taliban in this country are going to face a violent wake up call soon if they keep trying to spread their hatred, intolerant views, and intolerant actions on normal Americans. And it is patently unfair that gays and their loved ones should be devastated by discriminatory actions, while the bigots and their families go about enjoying their lives as if nothing is wrong. It's time to start making bigots pay for the discriminatory actions they take. When they have to pay a price, they might start to rethink their actions. Anyone reading this should take WHATEVER ACTIONS POSSIBLE to harm any of the bigoted legislators, or their loved ones, to make them pay for the harm they are doing to the people they discriminate against.

If this bill is to be introduced as a symbolic gesture then they should just change it so it adds gender identity to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and be done with it. ENDA is far too limited and gives away too much to the haters.

It’s about damn time! This bill hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in Hell of passing; however, it starts a discussion about a serious problem and gets people thinking about the reality of discrimination that many LG and especially Trans people face on a regular basis. Even if it never gets a vote and dies in committee, it starts the dialogue, which is progress.
