Fam_Fam posted... religion is something that you choose and that changes over time, and yet it is protected This is the opposite of the purpose of a protected class. It's meant to criminalize discrimination over something that a person can't change. I believe thats what theyre saying... Fam_Fam was using the comparison to say it doesn't matter if being gay is a choice, since religion is a choice and is protected. But I say the comparison demonstrates that religion shouldn't be protected. An individual can identify as a race other what an observer would identify as that individual's race. An individual can identify as a sex other what an observer would identify as that individual's sex. As long as they don't act like they are in a parade it is far more difficult to be seen as gay. Likewise it is difficult to discern an individual's beliefs unless they are actively trying to make them known. The individual would have to display that aspect with behaviors such as type of clothing or openly discussing it. The trend is to protect aspects that would be evident to an observer without an effort on behalf of the individual to display it. Sexual orientation and religion don't fit this trend. Additionally, in an age when words have no meaning and anyone can personally identify as anything, why would anyone choose to identify as gay if the think they will face discrimination for it? Its not only identifying as it, though. The problem is you can be seen doing something not straight. Such as going on a date with a member of the same sex. Maybe just out for dinner or something. Or someone drops by your house for some reason and notices picture of you and your significant other. The problem is when they see that youre gay without you telling them, and they fire you for it. Or if someone does know and others find out. Personally, I dont think people should just be able to fire you for only that. But I do know what you are saying about the whole religion aspect. But they have reasons for it. I feel like if them being gay or whatever religion is not affects the business, then it shouldnt matter... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
