Well ... that's curious.
It does not.

There are protected classes, any person having an adverse issue not related to those classes does not have civil rights protection.

Also, the courts have rules discrimination based on these classes is ok under whatever circumstances they deem fit, see college admissions for example.

You can snooze that person for 30 days. I have a relative that is a "friend" but I snooze them every time they reappear with the latest conspiracy.

So you don't have a sex, don't age, don't have a race, color, religion(or lack thereof)? How'd you pull that off?

No Civil Rights was for blacks. It was for the descendants of slaves who were legally excluded from mainstream society for 100 years.

It wasn't for Spanish speakers

It wasn't for immigrants

It wasn't for White women

It wasn't for men who like to wear dresses

It wasn't for bi-curious white males who experiment with fellatio.

They keep expanding it to include fake victim groups.

.

Because anti-LGBTis a right-wing platform.

I reckon not every right-winger believes in it, just as not every liberal is down with the whole UBI thing.

But note that the three dissenting votes are all right-wing justices. If this a "pro-human" for the GOP as you claim, why did these three justices decide to go against "pro-human"? Because at the end of the day, it is a right-wing platform.

Furthermore, Roberts went against same-sex marriages, so the fact that he changed stance is a surprise to some.

The poster said "for all", that is false. I can fire you for having your hair not the length I like and that is legal. Civil rights in this regard are only for groups established by the US gov. Additionally, being non-disabled is not a protected class, I can fire you for not having a disability and hire a disabled person over you as well based upon them having a disability.

Those are classes. Individuals within those classes can be discriminated against for other reasons.

This is a good thing. Everyone should be treated fairly on the job.

I would call it "they go human" . Most people do not care if someone is gay or trans in the workplace unless UNLESS as a result they get preferential treatment by the boss/owner or they don't pull their weight at the job. That goes for anyone. If someone is a lousy co worker then that is another problem.





What is it with the Loon Liberals, the Lefties, that can only think inside a box that they then lock up?

Why can't some people see the bigger picture that someone can like Trump and not be a racist? Or they support the Second Amendment but they do not support deranged murderers that shoot up schools. Or how they can respect our History and Heritage without taking offense to every statue and demanding that it be removed or they will do it themselves?



What is it with the Loony Liberals that refuse to see 2 sides of an issue.
Of course justices on the Supreme Court that lean Right can see the humanity in an issue and react with common sense. In the case of protecting gays at work it is not a decision that is Left or Right.



Get your brains out of the box people. You know or maybe not who you are..

Liberals react only to emotions and are revulsed by logic and facts. They either empathize with someone's emotions or hope to get likes for expressing their empathy. This is why we can't speak with each other and understand the other, conservatives focus on facts and logic and liberals hate that and only react to emotions.
