Which side of your mouth should we listen to, Congressman Michaud?
In a 2013 editorial, Mike Michaud wrote that his Maine gubernatorial campaign would find “real solutions to the challenges we face, not just empty platitudes and old ideas repackaged in new rhetoric” so why does he support the 20-year-old Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which only bars employment discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans instead of comprehensive civil rights protections for us.
In a March 6 statement, Mike Michaud told Pres. Barack Obama that his executive order barring anti-LGBT discrimination by federal contractors “should follow the example of strong anti-discrimination laws in Maine and other states,” but Michaud supports ENDA’s religious exemption that would let nearly 200,000 religiously affiliated employers fire or deny jobs to LGBT Americans.
