Default Dickinson Wants Gays, Transgenders, As Certified Minorities For State Contracts

Another horrible, discriminatory bill for state contracting set asides

Quote:
AB 1960, as introduced, Dickinson. State contracts: reports:
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender businesses.
(1) Existing law governing public contracts requires the
Department of Transportation to establish and administer a
computerized databank containing a list of certified minority, women,
and disadvantaged business enterprises.
This bill would require the Department of Transportation to
include, in that databank, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
businesses.
(2) Existing law requires the Department of General Services to
make available a report on contracting activity containing specified
information, including the level of participation of business
enterprises, by race, ethnicity, and gender of owner, in specified
contracts.
This bill would require the Department of General Services to
include in the report on contracting activity information regarding
the level of participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender
businesses in specified contracts, as provided.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

Does bisexual count? How does the state go about proving whether one is or is not gay or lezbo? So, the thing to do is claim you are, and grab the benefit. Who is to prove it one way or the other.

I have a friend who has claimed she is Black on every gov or job app she applies for and does a double app claiming she's white. Only the Black app gets an interview. She said once she gets the interview she usually gets the job. That's how she landed one at UCLA medical and she said they never mention what race was put on the app when she meets them for the interview. So it doesn't take an genius to figure out that either the HR removes the white apps or a computer sifts through them and does it. She figured this out years ago.

The same would probably work here, just claim your gay and your business needs money. It's easier to pass as a gay/lezbo than race baiting so I see a huge opportunity here.

They win either way. They get extra points in contract bidding, or that demographic(s) get a boost acceptance wise if people are willing to immitate them for the sake of the contract benefit

That's it. There is no crime against falsely claiming to be some race of sexual orientation. How do you enforce something like that? Ironically, it used to be the practice for blacks to lie about being white, especially if they were part white themselves and many blacks do carrying a certain amount of white blood. African Americans should put down white on their applications. It used to be you could be fired for doing that, nobody would dare to do it now.

And so the whole affirmative action fraud faces extinction. It should never have existed for anyone except those descended from slaves in states formally holding slaves. Race never need have entered the picture.
