No. That’s stupid.

That isn’t what this was about though, it’s that you can’t get fired for being gay or trans which I think is good.

If you have a problem employee who is about to get fired, they can suddenly decide they are gay and claim gay discrimination is why they got fired.

That wouldn’t hold up in court.

No.

The justices held that an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

If you want to get rid of them then fire them for not performing or another reason.

IDGAF what they say, transgender is a mental illness and should be treated as such.


Do you believe the mentally ill don't have civil rights?

But that’s where this ends up (if the opinion is as presented).

If you can’t discriminate based on sex and sex includes transgender. Then it will follow that teens who identify as transgender can use the locker room that matches their identity. You can’t have separate but equal facilities.

So when you say, “This sounds good” you have to take into account where it ends up.

You are a special kind of stupid.

That same Title of the CRA is what has been used to argue for trans in girls/boys locker rooms/bathrooms.

Also, if those are protected, how are you going to prevent them from competing in "their" gender sports?

If a person believes they are Jesus Christ, I do not have to worship them based on their civil rights.

Also, what’s the big deal about Gays and Transgenders not being discriminated against? They shouldn’t be.

Anyone who would fire or discriminate against an employee for being gay is a piece of shite, without exception.

So the Civil Rights Act has nothing to say about public accommodation? You honestly don't think that poster is right, or will not be proven right soon?

Or a frivolous lawsuit. Or be required to pretend that Bob is in fact Susan, irrespective of reality.

Nobody is forcing you to do that. Read the fricking case.

It’s literally only saying that Gays and Transgenders fall under the civil rights act of 1964 by saying that you can’t get fired based on being gay or transgender. Come on man, do better. At least read the case before going into a rage.

So you assume that this decision will be interpreted extremely narrowly? I don't think you even believe that.

That's not the standard. The employer still has to pay legal fees to defend themselves. Expensive enough to bankrupt many marginally funded small businesses.

Please tell me that two "conservatives" on the Supreme Court did not just rule that you can't fire someone for being a transvestite.

In at will states, it's legal to fire someone for no reason.

Is that any better?
