BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A judge has thrown out an executive order issued by Louisiana's governor that was aimed at protecting the rights of LGBT people in state government.

Judge Todd Hernandez ruled Wednesday that Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards' anti-discrimination order is unconstitutional. The order prohibited discrimination in government and state contracts based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The decision delivered a significant victory to Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry, who filed the lawsuit challenging the LGBT-rights order.

Equality is unconstitutional. 

Discrimination isn't. 

Remember that every time you recite the pledge of allegiance and sing the national anthem.

This will be the new normal in many states in the upcoming years...possibly even decades.

This election will have far reaching consequences for decades to come.

Literally how pathetic does ur life have to be to dedicate ur career to stripping other people's rights for no f*cking reason 

[REALITY 80,166]

And this is why people need to realize that LGBTQ rights are f*cking important. I literally cannot stress this enough; a lot of people sort of just brush it/us aside and don't really think about the consequences of their actions and what they have to say about this issue.

We still have a long way to go, and from the looks of it, it'll take longer for people to realize that LGBTQ rights are just as important as any other civil rights movement.
