re: Supreme Court - "Sex discrimination" includes gay and transgender discrimination

quote:

---

They interpreted that firing a man for dating a man while not firing a woman for dating a man is discrimination based on sex which violates the constitution... They did what they were supposed to do.

They did not. Alito pointed this out in his dissent. He showed that they were falsely limited the situation to a homosexual man and a heterosexual woman, both of whom are attracted to men, but the only difference being their sex. Alito pointed out that if you expand the hypothetical to include a heterosexual man and a homosexual woman that the issue evaporates because you then have the deciding factor being homosexual attraction, not sex/gender, as the two employees that remain are of different sexes.
