Ive said it before and Ill say it again, the law is designed currently to protect you against discrimination based upon your sex whether you are male or female not based upon your sexual orientation whether you want to date males or females. Every man cannot be discriminated against because they are a man and every woman cannot be discriminated against because they are woman. Its unchanging and makes sense. You cant change how you were born.

Sexual orientation however is constantly changing. Today you feel like dating women but in 5 years you decide you want to date men, then years later you date both, and so on, and so on... Making it illegal to discriminate based upon your preferences opens up a can of worms when your preferences are something untoward, such as animals, objects, or children.

In this case it would appear to be mostly harmless since all this does is protect against job discrimination but as the justices are pointing out it would create legal precedence that would apply in many other areas that can see individual preferences protected when they are otherwise harmful to society as a whole.

I hope what I said at least makes a little sense. Law is hard to describe in laymans terms.

This is one reason why I believe that the 2015 decision that the 14th Amendment applied to same sex marriage was a mistake, not because gays shouldnt get married since I honestly dont care who marries who, but because I could see it taking us down this rabbit hole. If you want a law to apply to something new you write a new law, not pretend it now applies to that new thing it was never written for. It creates too many problems accidentally.

If theres enough support for a new discrimination law then have the government create a new discrimination law that applies exactly how it is intended, instead of trying to usurp a current law that if applied to this can have drastically unforeseen consequences.
