Idaho Republican Party leaders are calling on state lawmakers to
invalidate local ordinances that ban discrimination on the basis of
sexual orientation, the Spokesman-Review reports.
Said Cornel Rasor, chairman of the
Idaho GOP’s resolutions committee: “I’d hire a gay guy if I
thought he was a good worker. But if he comes into work in a tutu… he’s
not producing what I want in my office.”
He added: “If a guy has a particular predilection and keeps it to himself, that’s
fine. But if he wants to use my business as a platform for
his lifestyle, why should I have to subsidize that? And that’s what
these anti-discrimination laws do.”
