Gov. Sam Brownback rescinds protections for LGBT state employees in Kansas

Gov. Sam Brownback is a major asshole! Yesterday, this bastard rescinded a 2007 executive order protecting state employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation or sexual identity!

Here's more

In place of that order, Brownback issued another order that he said “reaffirms the commitment of the State of Kansas to employment practices which do not discriminate based on race, color, gender, religion, national origin, ancestry or age.”

The civil rights protection was one of nine executive orders originally signed by Govs. Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson that Brownback rescinded Tuesday. Most of those orders established boards and commissions that Brownback said no longer meet.

“This action by the governor is an outrage,” said Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas, a gay rights and civil rights organization based in Wichita. “Gay, lesbian, and transgender state employees across Kansas have trusted they would be safe from discrimination and harassment in their workplace, but Sam Brownback has, by erasing their job protections, declared ‘open season’ on every one of them.”

This isn't over, Brownback! Not by a longshot!

In Kansas: Gov. Sam Brownback Won't allow Marriage Rights to Gay Couples

You know, what? Gov. Sam Brownback is an asshole.

This fool is all hurt over gay marriage in Kansas he won’t allow any state recognition of the unions. Sam won’t offer any of the benefits, like name changes on a driver’s license or employee benefits for state workers.

Really, Sam Brownback? You're going to sit up here and be defiant like some 5 year-old child?

He claims there's too much legal ambiguity on same-sex marriage, so he rather be safe than sorry. Personally, he's being an asshole
