NOM’s messaging machine doesn’t even make sense anymore:
“We are very disappointed by the Senate’s passage of this bill,” said Brian Brown, NOM’s President. “While protecting people against discrimination is a very important goal, this legislation is problematic because of its broad and unclear definitions. Concepts like ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ are too vague to be a basis for such a law which could lead to individuals facing reprisals or even criminal action simply for expressing their values in the workplace.”
Brown went on to note that NOM was especially disappointed in the measure’s support by several Republican Senators: “We are disappointed with the Republican Senators who voted for this bill for failing to see its dangerous implications for pro-family Americans. Many of these Senators’ constituents hold to traditional values like the belief in marriage as the union of one man and one woman, but ENDA could be a Trojan horse that enables the marriage redefinition agenda to be forced on the entire nation through the courts.”
“Sexual orientation” and “gender identity” are too vague? What’s vague, Brian?
