Obama to finally fulfill his promise and will sign ENDA executive order

After waiting more than six years, Obama has finally decided to fulfill his 2008 campaign promise to ban federal contractors from discriminating against gays in the workplace with an executive order:

According to the Human Rights Campaign, federal contractors employ more than 20 percent of the American workforce, and collect about $500 billion in contracts each year. Data from the Williams Institute shows that the order would protect 11 million more American workers from discrimination based on sexual orientation and up to 16.5 million more workers based on gender identity. 

The U.S. Senate passed ENDA in November but the House has yet to vote. Shortly after Obama's announcement, members of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus said they supported the executive order, calling it a step toward a full federal law

Get ready for some "rabble rabble" from the tea peanut gallery.
