Its not that I have a problem with ensuring there cant be discrimination against the LGBTQWERTY from federal contractors. But the fact is this was only added to the defense bill after the Orlando massacre, which this amendment has absolutely nothing to do with. Basically it just seems nothing more than politics at play here with the aim to make the Repubs look bad in the headlines as the result, as the Dems knew full what they were doing. Now if there are actual recent discrimination cases out there, then at least this would make more sense to do. But I just see this as petty politics using a tragic event as the catalyst.
That is one way to view it. Or maybe it just reminded them to act on it?
