 Empire State Pride Agenda, NY's lesbian and gay political organization, urges
 you to act immediately. NYS Attorney General Dennis Vacco has abolished
 protections for lesbians and gays working in his office. (This is the man who
 beat out lesbian Karen Burstein in last year's election.) His office has had
 a longstanding policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
 Vacco has now issued an executive order specifically excising "sexual
 orientation" as a protected category. This officially sanctions
 discrimination against lesbians and gay men. Vacco is the state's highest law
 enforcement official. He has relinquished his role as an advocate for justice
 and equality for all.
