LeFavour: Give Us A Hearing

It is a bit sad that it was on Valentines day that Senator McKenzie said he didn’t plan to schedule a hearing on S1033 to finally make it so gay people in Idaho can no longer be legally fired from our jobs for no other reason than that we are gay. But let’s be clear, no one I know is giving up. We can’t. Next year is an election year, and every year there has been some reason why another year would be better to consider this legislation. Enough of this. For Idaho law to continue to stay silent is to say that all the cruelty, the violence, the discrimination is acceptable, that it is ok in the state of Idaho. It is time for a public hearing. That is next to nothing to ask/Rep. Nicole LeFavour , Notes from the Floor. More here. (Wikipedia photo of Nicole LeFavour)

Question: Do you think legislation that would expand anti-discrimination protection to gay Idahoans deserve at least a hearing?
