Civil Rights Law Protects L.G.B.T. Workers, Supreme Court Rules

[Arc F1]

That’s ok, though I think you’re wrong. You have every right to this belief, and to have your church teach it. But wanting gays to be fired goes beyond that. I think wanting bad things to happen to a class of people reasonably qualifies as hate.

Pretty sure that would make BLM a hate group.

Skin color and behavior are two different things. I'm sure you understand that though.

Here's what I don't understand. Is the claim that things which are choices - like religious preference and Christian lifestyle choices - things which shouldn't be protected from discrimination by employers?

Good for you. You just can't discriminate against somebody for it.

By that logic gays would also discriminate. They don't approve of heterosexual relationships.

That is utterly ridiculous.

Won’t somebody think of the heterosexuals!?!

and what "lifestyle choice" are you disagreeing with?

There are a variety of lifestyle choices, and cultures I disagree with. To become a part of a gang where a network of people are involved in prostitution, drugs, and a variety of illegal activities I find harmful to the community. When you become a part of the gang, you are a part of their culture which is a lifestyle that you have chosen.
When you become a part of a religious cult where members stay away from other people in the community; they only associate with their own, children are homeschooled and indoctrinated in the culture of cult they aren’t allowed to play with other kids in the community, men have multiple wives and the cult leader has too much influence over their lives. This is a lifestyle I disagree with.

That they are people?

Not that they are people, but they are people who I feel are doing harm to themselves and others

Their choice to be honest and not hide?

When it comes to the illegal things, they do hide it.

That they shouldn't have to live in fear?

IMO if they have to live in fear, that is a good thing; perhaps they will get out and start living a healthy lifestyle.

There is a difference from not being in a hetrosexual relationship and not approving of hetrosexual realtionships. I'm sure there are some LGBT people who don't approve of hetrosexual relationships for any number of reasons, but I doubt it's a general view. And besides, this thread is about employment discrimination.

Gays own businesses too.

And if you can show a case of a person who was fired from a business for being hetrosexual, you might have a point.

Oh thank goodness! We are so put upon and marginalized, I live in fear of others finding out about it.

Maybe someday my wife and I can hold hand in public without fear.

Dare I also dream that one day the laws that could have me and my wife jailed for consensual sex be struck down?

I have no idea what you are going on about but OK.

 

[Larniavc]

The contract I signed had a 'moral turpitude' clause.

I first learnt what that phrase was and meant by watching the film ‘Porky’s’.
