I Grow Weary

It’s not just immigration reform that John Boehner is refusing to introduce, he’s also saying ‘no’ to a vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). He says it’s not needed. Apparently, gays and lesbians are already protected from discrimination in the workplace even though it’s legal to fire them for their sexual orientation in 29 states. Hell, you can fire people for being transgender in 33 states. But, I guess, getting fired isn’t discrimination. Discrimination must be, what? Not getting a good parking space? Having to pay for everyone’s coffee?

What exactly is discrimination in John Boehner’s world?

Oh, right. He’s lying. He just doesn’t give a shit.
