NYT Reports: Obama GLBT protections will not be changed

Obama’s Protections for L.G.B.T. Workers Will Remain Under Trump

Here’s an excerpt: 

The Obama order banned companies that do federal work from discriminating against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees. It was the first time the government explicitly protected federal workers from discrimination based on gender identity.

Leaving those protections, of course, does not preclude another executive order that would roll back gay rights in other areas. Mr. Trump could, for example, still enshrine a religious freedom provision in federal policy.

Gay rights advocates seemed unimpressed. Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said Mr. Trump was setting a low bar by claiming credit for not overturning the actions of his predecessor.

As the Twitter poster I saw this from two minutes ago said, remember to always add “Until you’re not looking” to the end of any such headline like this. 

Keep the pressure on and going, folks. Keep it on 24/7/365. Don’t ease up.
