Slowly but surely, the Bush administration is trying to undo the protections that gay government employees gained under Clinton. The latest example is the Social Security Agency, according to this report:
Social Security Administration officials are trying to remove language protecting employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation from the agency’s labor contract, union leaders claim. During negotiations on renewing the contract, SSA officials proposed eliminating a clause that allows gay, lesbian and bisexual workers to file discrimination grievances, said Witold Skwierczynski, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 220.
The Bushies preposterously claim they only want to “protect” marriage. But quietly they pass amendments and laws that would make even basic protections for gay couples legally vulnerable and renegotiate employment contracts so they can fire homosexuals at will. Maybe some gays will vote for Bush this time around. But they must know it’s a little like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.
