Sen. James Inhofe introduces budget amendment allowing LGBT discrimination by federal contractors

[Veilex]

On Tuesday, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) offered an amendment to the Congressional budget that could force the federal government to maintain contracts with organizations that do not treat their gay employees equally.
The amendment, as read into the Congressional record, dictates that “Federal agencies do not discriminate against an individual, business, or organization with sincerely held religious beliefs against abortion [or] that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”

Why does Inhofe feel the need to inject this into the budget? You know, I don't even know anymore. I'm just going to presume that this is yet another necessary step in the conservative attempts to redefine the nation as an explicitly religious state, by which we mean a state that legally codifies the beliefs of particular sub-sect of one particular religion, and here's a hint—it ain't yours. Sen. James Inhofe doesn't give a damn what your religion is.

1. So he wants a federal law that discriminates against certain Americans?

Does he know how unconstitutional that is or is it he is a) a fucking moron or b)he is a fundie or c)he just doesn't give a shit.

All of the above?

3. Churches already get away with employment discrimination unforntunately...

This is the type of thing that needs wide public exposure so that he can receive massive public shamming.
