The paragraph directly before the one that includes your quote, defines "sexual orientation discrimination" and makes the connection as to why it is "because of sex".

It sounds like the language isn't the issue. It sounds like we are seeing the fruits of destroying and re-configuring the meaning of words to fit our belief systems.

The 60's weren't that long ago. We know what the definitions of words were then. We know what they meant to the law-makers.

We have appropriate words to use if we want the law changed through the process laid out by the Constitution and there have been opportunities to change it that way, and there would have been more opportunities to do so. What the SCOTUS majority did was redefine our language to reach a conclusion they thought was best for today and robbed the people and their representatives of the ability to debate these ideas in the public square.
