“Rude” Heckling, Perhaps, But LGBT Job Discrimination Is In The News

[MNBrewer]

This week saw pressure on President Obama from LGBT activists — hardly a new development — but there were several differences that made this incident stand out: most notably, the immediate target of the action was First Lady Michelle Obama.

Although the action has been criticized by many — including a variety of LGBT writers — it has also led to more discussion of LGBT employment protections in the mainstream media than the issue has received since Obama declined in April 2012 to issue the executive order that Ellen Sturtz was yelling about on Tuesday night.

1. I wonder how effective "polite" heckling would have been!

Heckling is meant to be rude - that's the point!

Glad to see it was effective - now lets hope the President signs his campaign promised executive order and protect the jobs of LGBT workers.
