“Just one Republican senator publicly voiced opposition to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a bill that would make it illegal to fire an employee based on sexual orientation or gender identity. During the week the Senate was given to debate the legislation, the lone GOP gripe was that it violates the religious freedoms of for-profit businesses who do not want to employ lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people.”*

Most people don’t know about how widely it’s perfectly legal to discriminate someone for their sexual orientation. Without recently-passed ENDA, it would have stayed that way. But why are Republicans like Sen. Dan Coats opposed to the anti-discrimination laws? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
