EEOC Stretches the Ban on 'Sex Discrimination' to Cover LGBT Employees

CNS News reports:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetic information.

Despite pressure from activists, Congress has not passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act -- a bill that would explicitly outlaw discrimination against LGBT people, but never mind.

This week, the EEOC decided that existing federal law barring sex discrimination can be stretched to cover lesbian, gay and bisexual employees, too.

No word yet from the Catholic Church on this story.
