Like no one in the country could discriminate against anyone for anything on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. After I read your post, I did a quick Google search and, yep, turns out the original civil rights act only outlawed discrimination in various areas, not for everything in the whole country.

..and you also must consider what someone views as discrimanation instead of just listening to the dude yelling from the soapbox. For instance; if I don't let a male use the female facilities at my place of employment am I discriminating if I have provided that employee a place to go that matches his or her biological make up?
