http://www.bilerico.com/2011/02/is_an_executive_order_version_of_enda_possible.phpHere in Virginia, LGBT citizens can be fired at will from their jobs simply for being a sexual minority yourefired.jpg- it happened to me personally in the private sector in a law firm setting. And, as my client Michael Ware Moore can attest, it happens in the the realm of state employees as well despite the lies spun by The Family Foundation and its whore like minions in the Republican Party of Virginia.
Even today, a bill passed by the Virginia Senate that would protect state employees faces likely death in the House of Delegates. At the federal level, with the shift of control of U.S. House of Representatives to the GOP, hoped for relief from the federal level is unlikely. As a result, some advocates are now lobbying for an Executive Order that would limit federal contracts to companies that have LGBT non-discrimination policies in place.
