LA Gov. Jindal Won't Renew Non-Discrimination Ban

GLAAD: Louisiana Gov. Won't Renew Non-Discrimination Ban
Louisiana’s Governor Bobby Jindal announced that he will not renew Louisiana’s anti-discrimination law, enacted in 2004 by executive order by former Governor Kathleen Blanco. The order banned discrimination in government employment, providing government services and in government contracts with private companies. Under the order, private businesses contracting with the state also needed inclusive non-discrimination policies. Blanco’s executive order added sexual orientation to the categories race, religion, gender, national origin, political affiliation, and disability.

The comrades over at PassTheRoti posted a succinct response: "How do you spell a$$hole? J-I-N-D-A-L."
