I hate to be a party pooper. And really, I don’t mean to be one. It’s just that I’m conflicted over this new anti-discrimination bill.
Yesterday the House passed what some are calling a momentous bill, which was to a degree bi-partisan in its support, that expands anti-discrimination law to protect people against employment discrimination based on actual or perceived sexual orientation. The New York Times has a good article on the bill and the back story of who’s happy about it, who isn’t, and why. You’ll see that in separating the supporters from the opponents of the bill, the lines aren’t clearly demarcated between those who are against discrimination and those who are in favor of or apathetic about it.
