California Takes Invasive Action to Prevent One Kind of Fraud

The gay rights movement has sure come a long way. I remember when gays only wanted to be treated like everyone else and the government kept off their backs.
You've come a long way, baby.
California, the place where dreams come true and weird and wacky personal idiosyncrasies are normalized, has taken a giant leap for gaykind by creating a set-aside program that rewards gay people for, well, being gay.
This presented the good government folks in Sacramento with a huge dilemma: How do you know if someone is, like, you know, actually gay and not sort of faking it?
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has been awarding contracts to black- and female-owned businesses since 1986 under a state set-aside program. The CPUC created a “Supplier Diversity Program” to enforce the law and set aside "goals" for larger utilities.
