Historic Ruling By SCOTUS Coming Soon About LGBTQ People

[Jarhyn]

I do wonder what they say is the first sign of insanity...

Anyway, I would hope that employers do not have the right to fire people who do not hold particular views about gay people; nobody here on the left is arguing that they should or deserve that right.

On the other hand, firing employees who speak I'll of their co-workers who are gay, who express such opinions and hostility to their co-workers and erode interpersonal cohesion at the workplace, expressing in so many words biases against those employees, well, such people do not belong in the workplace.

There are gay people who you would never even know are gay. They don't go around announcing, "I'm as gay as the day is long!" and using the girly mannerisms and speaking with the lisp. These people are trying to get attention because they are gay. These are the annoying ones.

The ones who keep it to themselves and don't announce it to the world are the ones who I don't mind working with. But, the ones who are openly flamboyant shoving it in your face and reminding you every 10 mins they are gay are the attention seekers. No reason to do that just as there is no need for me to remind my co-workers that I am straight every 10 mins. Everyone would get fed up and say, "Shut up!"

And here we get back to the crux of the issue: you have a problem with people because of the mannerisms and manner with which they talk. Not with what they say, but how they say it. You are biased against persons, rather than actions or statements which materially threaten you or the work that you do.

So who here is making the workplace hostile? Them for existing in a way you disapprove of or you for disapproving, clearly vocally and publicly, of their existence?

Yep, Tom Arnold recently tweeted that Donald Trump should be assassinated.

i do not believe this to be a true statement, Halfie.

He deleted it quickly, but there was no backlash from the left about it.

well, if he did NOT threaten assassination, that could explain no one complaining about it, wouldn't it?

They don't care if a leftist threatens violence against the President.

or, it never happened except in some Tfumpette being triggered about his fa ntasy that the left threatened Trump.

Trump bragged about crowd turn-out for an event in Texas.
Tom taunted Tffump. But did not threaten assassination, nor call for it.
So, once again, either you are lying, Halfie, for some reason, or someone lied to you, because they know, or at least count on you being credulous and to spout their bullshit for them.

Let's not forget Drumpf and his "second amendment People" statement about the crew...

yeah. Weird how when Trump implies Assassinate, or Quid Pro Quo, or Sexual Assault, he MUST spell it out, or he did not actually say it, but if a leftist mentions an assassinated President, the threat is unmistakable

Oh, so banning the WEARING of the burka doesn't discriminate against people.

Surely "Women Only" gyms discriminate against people (men) because of the #MeToo-phobia

What women-only gyms?

Some years back the owner of one admitted that legally she couldn't enforce that.

Maybe like those blacks-only colleges....

Well in many jurisdictions women-only gyms are exempt from anti-discrimination laws.

...which annoys the crap out of trans wimmin and folks who think that men should be allowed to hang around inside women's public toilets and changing rooms.
