Trump nixes Obama order preventing federal workers from being fired because they’re LGBT

Salon  

President Trump has repealed an executive order that advocates believe will provide loophole for employers to discriminate against LGBT people. “The Obama order was really a way of making sure the federal government was only directing federal contracting dollars to businesses who were good actors,” said Sharon McGowan, Director of Strategy at Lambda Legal. “What President Trump did by repealing the executive order was eliminate a really powerful tool to ensure that companies wanting to get federal business and contracting dollars comply with all their federal obligations.” “It says a lot about what the ethos of this administration is and will be for the next four years,” she added. “It’s not one that’s interested in advancing the interests of American workers.” The repeal of Executive Order 13673, although it most directly impacts the LGBT community, has implications for a wide swath of federal regulation designed to prevent discrimination against women and minority communities. Selisse Berry, CEO and founder of Out & Equal Workplace Advocates, said that Trump’s decision to repeal the Obama order is “out of sync” with corporate values of equality.
