ENDA would enforce that you *may not* take into consideration someone's
sexual orientation in hiring or firing.  Maybe you should read the legislation
before commenting.  It also exempts religious organizations and prohibits any
sexual-orientation-based quotas.

Where in Mike's post did you find a request for any entitlement?  You're
making this up.  ENDA does not legislate any entitlements whatsoever.

As an employer you should be much better informed of the laws that might
affect employers.  If you want to talk about quotas or EEO policies, you're
targeting the wrong piece of legislation.

Out of respect for decency I'll cut out the rest of your rant.  It's
reprehensible that you feel you can label people with the ugly language
you used in your little dialog.  You are certainly not cut out to be
put in a position to employ anyone.
