"The governor of Montana has signed an executive order that will protect LGBT state employees from discrimination.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Gov. Steve Bullock announced at a press conference that it is time to "recommit to King's values of compassion and equity" by prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity."

Why can't these laws and regulations cover ALL employees? Why should state employees only be a protected class? Time to start contacting our Republicans in Congress and get ENDA passed. JMHO

On the other hand, if winters weren't so cold - I'd be "movin' to Montana soon."
