[Active-l] (ACTION ITEM) (LOUISIANA) Support HB 853 in Louisiana

[Dara (R'ykandar Korra'ti)]

	Family Research Council ACTION ITEM against Louisiana bill that would 
provide protection against anti-gay discrimination and harassment in 
state employment ; FRC describe it as "special privileges for 
homosexuals"; as always, it provides general protection on sexual 
orientation, which includes heterosexuality too - that's even written 
into the bill language explicitly - but that's never stopped them from 
lying about it before, why would they stop now.
	Anyway, if you're in Louisiana, please consider supporting HB 853. The 
Family Research Council ACTION ITEM against the bill is appended below.

-----
Please contact your Louisiana state representative and encourage 
him/her to vote NO on HB 853

HB 853, which would give homosexuals "special privileges," has been 
introduced every year for over a decade, and every year it has died in 
committee, until recently. This year it has gotten more attention as 
the homosexual activists pursue total acceptance of their homosexual 
lifestyle by the general public. This radical piece of legislation is 
now advancing to the House floor, where it was only a few votes shy of 
passing last year.

Sponsored by Rep. Juan LaFonta, HB 853 would grant special protection 
status to a group of people based on their "perceived sexual 
preferences." It also adds a prohibition against "harassment" in the 
workplace. Harassment is undefined in the proposed legislation and in 
the Revised Statutes. This bill would create much confusion and it 
needs to be stopped, as employees would be able to move in and out of 
the protected class without advance notice.
