In the never-ending march to marginalize an entire segment of our society, ShrubCo, Inc has de-legitimized Gay Americans whose only apparent drawback is, loving or having the propensity to love another of the same chromosomal make-up, from being employed by their government.
Gay and lesbians in the entire federal workforce have had their job protections officially removed by the office of Special Counsel. The new Special Counsel, Scott Bloch, says his interpretation of a 1978 law intended to protect employees and job applicants from adverse personnel actions is that gay and lesbian workers are not covered.
Bloch said that the while a gay employee would have no recourse for being fired or demoted for being gay, that same worker could not be fired for attending a gay Pride event.
In his interpretation, Bloch is making a distinction between one’s conduct as a gay or lesbian and one’s status as a gay or lesbian.
I am gonna be so disappointed in Barney Frank if he does not have this idiot in his office at 9AM sharp tomorrow morning to explain why Barney is not employable...
Atrios is so right, I too, hate these bastards. Not Republicans, but these narrow-minded Christo-Fascist republicans...they are not one and the same.
So, how do all you Log Cabin Republicans who are federal employees feel about your guy now? Pretty swell fella, eh?
