Story: "The bill (HR 2015) would force organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Veterans of Foreign Wars, day care centers, Christian business owners, adoption agencies, public schools, municipalities and a host of other businesses and organizations to hire homosexual applicants.
ENDA would make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire or refuse to promote an employee based on his or her sexual orientation or "gender identity." Such acts would be considered crimes subject to severe penalties."
Anti-Discrimination laws are such an egregious breech of the free market. And I say that for all of them, not just homosexual ones.
This hasn't passed the house, and it probably won't, but these things don't go away. Give it a few years, and it will come back.
EDIT: When I refered to anti-discrimination laws above, I am referring to anti-discrimination laws pertaining to employment.

I just received word that President Bush plans to give this legislation the speedy veto it deserves if it reaches his desk.
Unfortunately, a President Obama or Hillary would probably sign it.
I'm under 6' so maybe I should get my Congressman to sponsor a bill to make it illegal to not hire or to fire someone under 6'. The audacity of employers not hiring someone because of their height.
