A monumental win for all of our dads

Other than in your mind how is this a shit on Trump's head? I get you are a TDS addled loser, but even for you that is a reach.

Trump has nothing to do with penning legislation and then voting on it. Nor does he have anything to do with the ultimate interpretation of it. Trump has also shown he has support for the gay community.

In that less than sophomoric head of yours, how is this a Trump issue?

This was really the last big "legislative" hurdle for the LGBT movement. Bills like ENDA never gained enough traction in Congress, and while most states created protections of their own, there were still a significant number of them that permitted employers to fire employees solely on the basis of their sexual orientation.

Interesting to see Gorsuch pen the opinion on this one.

Was anyone arguing that gay men and women should be fired due to their sexuality? This has been a legislation only issue since I was in DC 20 years ago. Some states interpret the current law to mean men and women. Many have argued that it is up to congress to write the legislation protecting people from being fired due to their sexual preferences.

All the court did was blend it all into the current law which is one way to tackle the issue. Just so everyone understands here, a majority Republican court ruled to include gay men and women to be covered under the current law.

Interesting in that one of the cases before the court was a white gay guy in Atlanta who was fired by black community workers for being openly gay.

This is huge for those employees who want to suck some cock in the lunch room or during breaks. Massive win. No more fear of termination.

Only safe if same sex. Regular people get fired. Regular people don't have the same protections as the "special" people.

You might be better informed if you actually read the news...

From the NYT article that Montlake posted..

"Lawyers for employers and the Trump administration argued that the common understanding of sex discrimination in 1964 was bias against women or men and did not encompass discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity."

I read the article dipfuck. Read it and my post again, FFS.

The previous law was written specifically for men and women. Most had zero problem with legislation coming from Congress that would include gay men and women. Trump had no problem with congress including gay men and women (I just read where he went back on his statement here, this is not good). They felt it warranted that level of attention so that they wouldn't be in court in 50 different states. States (both red and blue) had already declared they were going to stick to men and women until it was changed at the congressional or judicial level which is what just happened. The SC saved us all a lot of time and did the right thing.

As inappropriate as I believe it is to be at work discussing where you like to shove your dick, if Biff brings Ken to the company Christmas party he should be accorded all the same respect as any hetero couple and it should not be a detriment to his career. His sexual preferences are no one's business but his and Ken's.
