David Greenfield and Chaim Deutsch Vote For Gay Mesirah Bill

Two Months ago in the City Council passed 2 bills send out spies to see if people are following the city's non "discrimination" policies.  Remember that the Williamsburg store case is still considered by the city to be gender discrimination. Bill De Blasio signed both of these bills in to law last month.  One bill Intro. 690 would establish an employment "discrimination" testing program in an attempt to proactively attempt to root out what they consider employment discrimination.  For example if a Kosher Pizza store refused to hire a homosexual spy sent by the city to trap him who was flaunting his same sex "marriage" in the face of everyone else, the store owner would be sued. The other bill Intro. 689 would establish a similar testing program to root out housing "discrimination".  For example if a landlord refused to rent a apartment in a building filled with Orthodox Jews, to a gay "couple" then he would be sued.  Unfortunately the Housing discrimination bill's main sponsor and pusher also represent the Jewish community Brad Lander (Borough Park, Kensington).  Even worse both David Greenfield and Chaim Deutsch Who claim to be Orthodox voted for both of these bills. The Commissioner of Human Rights who will decide how to do these mesirah tests, and how many is a Park Slope Lesbo who thinks she is "married" to another woman.


As city council man Brad Lander put it

One technique we will start using again is “matched-pair testing,” where two otherwise similar individuals – one black and one white, one straight and one gay, one abled and one disabled, one with and one without a housing voucher – both apply for an available apartment or job. The idea is to hold landlords and employers who systematically discriminate against New Yorkers accountable for their actions, with real investigations and tough sanctions. That’s part of how we’ll make change.

The mayor is requesting a 25% budget increase for the Human Rights Commission in fiscal year 2016, to $8.8 million from its current budget of $7 million. Those funds would help pay for a 51% staff increase to 100 employees from the agency's current staff of 66.

 In her second week on the job, Carmelyn P. Malalis, the new commissioner appointed by Mayor Bill de Blasio, was vowing to vigorously enforce the law and to revitalize the chronically underfinanced agency, which primarily serves residents who cannot afford to hire their own lawyers.

“I get that folks want to see results,” Ms. Malalis, a 40-year-old lawyer who specializes in workplace discrimination cases, said in an interview. “I know that we’re going to do some great work here.”

But the new commissioner, who lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, also has a personal stake in the fight.

Ms. Malalis, the daughter of Filipino immigrants, is "married" to a woman from Ethiopia and has two biracial daughters.

How can these legislators who are supposed to represent us justify putting our community at risk for following the Torah?

As a side point how come those who claim mesirah regarding molesters are silent here where mesirah clearly applies?
