WASHINGTON (BP)--The White House indicated Oct. 23 President Bush likely would veto the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a controversial bill championed by homosexual activists and opposed by religious liberty organizations.

Known as H.R. 3685, the bill is expected to receive a vote this week, possibly Wednesday. If signed into law, it would place "sexual orientation" into a federal category similar to race, gender and age and could force employers and even Christian businesses, schools and daycares to hire homosexuals and cross-dressers.

The White House's Office of Management and Budget released a statement saying that if the bill reaches Bush's desk, "his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill." The bill, the statement said, "raises concerns on constitutional and policy grounds." It passed a House committee, 27-21. the rest
