And on the 103rd day, the LGBT executive order was risen

The signing would represent a major triumph for Vice President Mike "Magnetic Induction For Dick Suction" Pence—whose push for religious-freedom legislation backfired mightily when he served as governor of Indiana—and his allies in the conservative movement.
The original draft order, which would have established broad exemptions for people and groups to claim religious objections under virtually any circumstance, was leaked to The Nation on Feb. 1—the handiwork, many conservatives believed, of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who have sought to project themselves as friendly to the LGBT community. Liberals blasted the draft order as government-licensed discrimination, and the White House distanced itself from the leaked document in a public statement.
Pence and a small team of conservative allies quickly began working behind the scenes to revise the language, and in recent weeks have ratcheted up the pressure on Trump to sign it. The new draft is being tightly held, but one influential conservative who saw the text said it hasn’t been dialed back much—if at all—since the February leak. “The language is very, very strong,” the source said.

Good as a business owner - I won't work on something against my convictions - I shouldn't be punished for it.

Indiana is the more pertinent example but yeah, this probably won't endear him to social liberals in the Midwest

Exactly, no you shouldn't be.

As a business frequenter, sometimes in your area actually, I wonder, do you make it a regular practice to interrogate potential customers to assure yourself that serving them won't be detrimental to your convictions?

It's not that so much - for me anyway. It's just such lowest-common-denominator bull shite (and I'm not talking about the religious angle).
All these EOs and EAs do is enable him to say he fulfilled a campaign promise and/or say "those damn establishment republicans in congress stopped him". OF course those republicans have to worry about pesky details like funding, constitutionality, etc.
He will throw the GOP under the bus as soon as it's convenient. And we go further and further down the crapper.

I may be wrong but I though the extent of the executive order would apply only apply to private actors and companies seeking government contracts. It would not apply to members of government carrying out government functions.
I could be wrong.
Although I agree with the substance of the order, I seriously doubt the President has the constitutional authority to put it into practice.

This seems to me like reporters blowing their load early. Remember in february when he was supposedly going to sign it? Look what happened.

So, Trump fails miserably on so many important economic issues, failing to do the important things he campaigned on and even had some LBGT support on. He even campaigned on his support on other LBGT issues. Yet, the one thing he can achieve is a rally of the bible thumpers on this issue.
Will be so interesting when the conservative court he so shored up shits all over this executive order.
Maybe he'll learn to pick his battles better.

Thats a non sequitur. In virtually all the cases of claimed business "discrimination" the problem has been with the gays crying about being "damaged". Don't start nothing...won't be nothing. Not that complicated.
