Chai's ENDA vs. Religious LibertyPosted by: Thomas Peters in |
|
Chai Feldblum is one of the drafters of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Penna Dexter discusses some of the measure's possible implications, and where Chai Feldblum fits into the picture:
Some people call ENDA a 'gay jobs quota bill.' It's to be enforced by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission whose latest appointee is Chai Feldblum, currently a lesbian activist Georgetown Law Professor. When asked about the rights of employers to follow their religious beliefs in hiring people, she replied, "Gays win; Christians lose."
This is not about righting economic wrongs. Homosexuals tend to be more highly educated and to have, according to some surveys, higher disposable incomes than heterosexual couples. Many companies court gays for hiring. The government does not force them to hire Christians.
