LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - GMDino - 04-05-2017 http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/lgbt-job-discrimination-prohibited-civil-rights-law-federal-appeals-court-n742751?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_ma Quote:A federal appeals court in Chicago ruled Tuesday that long-standing federal civil rights laws prohibit discrimination on the job against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees. I wonder this will extend protection to closeted GOp elected officials? RE: LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - fredtoast - 04-05-2017 No big surprise here. Everyone knew it was coming. This means that the ACLU is going to force churches to have gay transgender pastors. RE: LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - michaelsean - 04-06-2017 Wait what did sexual orientation mean previously?

The law doesn't explicitly protect based on sexual orientation. The courts said that sexual orientation based discrimination is sex based discrimination, so it is protected.

Most corporations include it in their employee handbooks. Smart move, to remain safe. RE: LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - TheLeonardLeap - 04-07-2017 It's a good thing, but I never understood why anyone at your job would know your sexual preference to begin with. Unless you're hanging out with them outside of work or something, I suppose. I mean, I am straight but I never have walked up to a coworker and been like "Yup, so I sure love me some vaginas, because I am straight."

You've never seen anyone with a photo of their spouse on their desk or talk about their significant other? I've met well over a dozen of my coworkers' spouses/boyfriend/girlfriend.

Lol I've had people talk about significant others, but I also have had people who have never mentioned it before and I never bothered to pry. If they don't bring it up, it's not really any of my business. I respect privacy, and if I like them as a person, I really couldn't care less about their sexual orientation.

It just says that if your employer (or prospective employer) does know your sexual orientation they can not discriminate against you because of it. RE: LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - Rotobeast - 04-07-2017 I'm totally applying to Chick-fil-A, so I can go to an interview wearing a feather boa. ![]() Sent from my SM-S820L using Tapatalk RE: LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - Belsnickel - 04-07-2017 What is interesting about this is that it is the same sort of logic that was used to apply Title IX protections to trans students under the Obama administration. This court case could have far reaching implications and could cause a ripple effect that will have a profound impact on civil rights in this country.

My point is that unless you tell someone, they will never know. So how can you be discriminated against if you don't tell anyone? I have never talked to a boss about my relationship status or anything. Don't get me wrong, I still agree it's a good thing for them to have. I just never understood how if you were worried about being discriminated against, you would make it public knowledge in order for it to happen to begin with. It's like being scared of your house being broken into, while telling everyone you meet that you leave all your doors unlocked.

The condescention wasaimed at you for taking the position that it mis the duty of LGBT people to live in the closet and hide the truth in order to avoid troiuble. Apparently you have some job where you never speak to any of your coworkers about anything excpt the job. But those are pretty rare. Most people who are properly adjusted socially speak to their co-workers about things other than work from time to time.

No. It is like being so afraid of your house being broken into that you are forced to keep it a complete secret where you live and can never tell anyone anything about your house even if they ask. RE: LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - PhilHos - 04-11-2017 Quick question: what sexual orientation, specifically, is "transgender"? In all seriousness, I'm glad this is finally resolved. Now, I can sue my boss for all those negative looks he gives me and comments he makes because I'm heterosexual and I dress like a straight, white male. (Okay, maybe not "in all seriousness" ![]() RE: LGBT Job Discrimination Is Prohibited by Civil Rights Law - JustWinBaby - 04-15-2017 I've never been asked or needed to tell someone what my sexual preferences are. But that's just me, doing my job. Apparently that makes me un-American. I've still yet to meet someone who would rather be a bigot than make money, but apparently those white, homophobic males dominate the economy. It's a GREAT argument to make, when the people you make it to have no clue to know better. |
