LGBT Executive Order: Trump Could Target Gay Adoptions, Federal Workers Discrimination
And so it begins...
[FONT="]President Donald Trump is reportedly considering an executive order directed at the LGBT community that could lead to discrimination from federal workers and potentially hinder gays from adopting children, according to media reports. The order could rescind a previous order signed by former President Barack Obama that protected members of the LGBT community from discrimination while employed with federal contractors.
[/FONT][FONT="]Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin cited an unnamed source Monday with information about an executive order pertaining to LGBT adoption rights and confirmed the order could affect employee benefits and other protections. [/FONT]Daily Kos reported a similar story Monday afternoon[FONT="]. The order could be announced as early as Thursday when Trump attends the National Prayer Breakfast, according to Daily Kos, and it could allow federal employees to refuse service to LGBT community members on religious grounds.[/FONT]
