| Description | (Tallahassee, Florida) Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) is being urged to issue an executive order prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation in state employment.
Council President and Founder Rand Hoch, in the letter, suggests Crist use Governor Arrnold Schwarzenegger's Executive Order as a model.
"Throughout his long career in public service, Charlie Christ has been a leader on civil rights," said Hoch.
"As Florida's Attorney General, he proposed and worked to pass the Marvin Davies Civil Rights Act which now provides the Attorney General the authority to take action when a pattern or practice of discrimination has occurred or when discrimination is an issue of great public interest."
In May, 2006, Gallup reported that 89% of Americans agreed that gay men and lesbians should have equal rights in terms of job opportunities.
