That President Obama is going to sign an executive order barring discrimination against sexual orientation and gender identity, the order is said to cover over 15 million federal contractors.

The Heritage Foundation warned that ENDA “tramples fundamental civil liberties,” “creates special privileges” for homosexuals and transgender people, and treats “moral convictions as if they were bigotry.” The U.S. Conference of Catholic bishops has said, “ENDA could be used to punish as discrimination what many religions – including the Catholic religion – teach, particularly moral teaching about same-sex sexual conduct.”
I like the part “creates special privileges” it seem like that if you tell people that they have to treat everyone equally you are giving them special rights. Welcome to “1984” newspeak.
