We all have our issues we want addressed. Why are yours more important than someone else's. You think your issue is more important than mine......why is that?

Ill tell you five like you asked.
1:

Housh registered his domestic partnership to obtain from Home Depot health benefits for his partner under the Domestic Relationship Act. Shortly after, Housh claims, upper level management discovered his sexual orientation and initiated an alleged second attempt to remove Housh from the company

Former Belmont University soccer coach was fired in December 2010 after she came out to her soccer team that she is a lesbian and announced that she and her partner were expecting their first child.

Sociology professor at Seattle University who is openly a lesbian and writes about sexuality, was originally offered a job as dean of one of Marquette University’s colleges. In May 2010, her offer was rescinded.

Finally 5:

This case is playing out as we speak. Until April 2012, TerVeer was a management analyst for the Library of Congress.
He claims that he was harassed and fired because of his sexual orientation, and he has filed a discrimination complaint. WJLA reported that he received emails in 2009 from his boss referencing bible passages that speak against homosexuality, and that “he stated that as a homosexual I could never succeed because it was against God’s law.”
The trouble apparently all started when TerVeer “liked” a page on Facebook called Two Dads.

As you can see these gay, Lesbian and Transgender employees got the short hand of stick for just being who they are.
So what Governor McAuliffe did is a step in right direction in the start of cleaning up the mess previous governor left.
If it not already shared tomorrow I plan to share how a fortune 500 company plans to take similar measure sine Boehner refuses to let the house vote on ENDA.

well you are aware there is this thing called prioritization.

The cost of gas effects you the same if you are gay or straight
Property taxes affect you the same if you are gay or straight.
Border security affects you the same if you are gay or straight.
The creation of great paying jobs affects you the same if you are gay or straight.
The right to keep and bear arms affects your the same if you are gay or straight.

These issues or way more important..why? because they effect us all..And to a far bigger degree.
