John Cornyn, Ted Cruz oppose ban on anti-gay discrimination

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – The Senate bypassed a possible filibuster on a bill prohibiting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. But supporters got no help from Texas senators.

Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz both voted Monday night against moving the Employment Non-Discrimination Act toward a final vote. The Senate voted 61-30 to move the bill forward.

“Sen. Cornyn opposes the legislation because it threatens Texans’ freedom of religion by tampering with constitutional protections for the expression of religious faith in the workplace,” said spokeswoman Kate Martin.

Cornyn believes the bill is overreaching, she said, and that nondiscrimination laws should be handled by states, not the federal government.

1. Isn't their votes and behavior a given? Who would ever expect better behavior from them?

Being human beings is against their religion and morals. They really should slide back under the rocks they came out from under.
