Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) on Tuesday rescinded an executive order that extended anti-discrimination protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered state employees, outraging equal rights advocates who condemned the move.
In its place, Brownback issued an order that his office said committed the state to employment practices that do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, ancestry or age. Sexual orientation and identity were unmentioned in the new order.
Remarkable that people who claim to be "equal Rights advocates" clamor for special measures designed for certain groups.

Well this heartfelt move will fix their buget crisis.

Moments later a bill was introduced then dismissed
You know, the protections protect everyone. Not discriminating based on sexual orientation protects straights as well LGBTs.
Here's the list from the article of what Kansas protects:
That list protects YOU, regardless of your race, your gender, your religion, your origin, your ancestry, your age.
Sadly people do also discriminate on sexual orientation; that should be part of the list as well.
Since when is "equal treatment" defined as "special"?

when it causes someone else to lose their livelihood and way to provide for their family.

I can understand wanting it done through the legislature. But why doesn't he leave the executive order in place until he introduces a bill and gets it passed?
oh. Because he's Brownback.
Think it's just "bread and circuses"? Distract Kansans from the mess he's created?
The narrative for tyrannical executive powerlust is limited to the opposing party. When it's your own party, it's leadership.Why does the governor of Kansas get to rule by executive order anyway? I thought this was a bad thing.

Kansas governor rescinds order protecting gay state workers
The Kansas action comes after the Arkansas Senate this week approved legislation to prohibit cities and counties from enacting ordinances against discrimination based on sexual orientation, which is not covered by state law.
In Indiana, Republican Gov. Mike Pence is backing a measure aimed at protecting people and companies from having to participate in same-sex weddings. A similar proposal failed last year in Kansas, with critics saying it would sanction widespread discrimination.
Sam Brownback is a complete and utter scumbag.
