...you're generalizing to the world...I'm referring to US states where gays can be fired from jobs, refused rentals, denied teaching jobs, etc...due to sexual orientation (I'm looking at you, Confederate States)...even so, laws aren't enough when pasty white evangelicals and self-righteous black preachers frequently demonize those they don't like...*cough*...we've gone through all this on a number of threads: do keep up...Quote:

Noses to the grindstones and TAX, TAX, TAX :cmn:
So, to clarify, in some States in the USA, it's legal for gays to be 'be fired from jobs, refused rentals, denied teaching jobs, etc...due to sexual orientation'?Quote:

The Homosexual Ideology’s Luciferian Pride
To take pride in practicing the homosexual vice and to proclaim this in public in the streets and squares of the world’s leading cities is a sin of the spirit, a challenge to the Law of God. It is a denial of reality as such and an adhesion to a utopia and to a pathological fantasy. It is a manifestation of Lucifer’s pride and a repetition of his desperate cry of revolt, “I will not serve.”

no ... if it's not legal, no special consideration is required.Quote:

(Question ... it's State, not Federal legislation?)
TC ... can you show some examples in the USA where it's legal to discriminate (on the basis of sexual preference)?

Unlike the recent passing of the legislation for abortions to be made illegal in some US States ... even when it's incest or rape ... that's fucked (no pun intended).

Texas County Commissioner Refuses to Sign Pride Week Proclamation
She called reading a statement ahead of the proclamation to say she didn't support it "kind."
by Jeff Taylor 6/7/2019 Newnownext)
A county commissioner in Texas refused to sign a Pride Week proclamation, and put her opposition to it on public record.
County Commissioner Carolyn Vaughn read a statement at Wednesday’s Nueces Commissioners Court meeting, in Corpus Christi, asking for it be included in the record that she “does not support this proclamation or agree with the statements in it.”
The proclamation recognized The Mosaic Project of South Texas’ Fourth Annual Pride Week, devoted to honoring the lives lost in the Pulse nightclub shooting, commemorating the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s marriage equality ruling, and uplifting the community, according to ABC affiliate KIII.
Vaughn told NBC affiliate KRIS-TV she felt she hadn’t done anything wrong by refusing to sign it and coming out in opposition, and added that she would do it again. She continued by saying she felt she had “shared her beliefs in a kind way.”
“Look, guys, you have a right to your beliefs, but I do too,” she said. “And just because you’re the LGBT—whatever it’s called, community, does not mean that I have to suck it up and support it.”
“It’s unfortunate that Nueces County Commissioner Carolyn Vaughn felt the desperate need to impose her anti-LGBTQ beliefs preceding the presentation of the Nueces County proclamation in celebration of Pride Week,” said civil rights group LULAC Para Todos in a statement.“Being a County-elected official, her job is to represent the community as a whole and understand that it would be beneficial for all of her constituents if she kept her personal biases to herself. Her actions at today’s meeting were highly unnecessary and we call on her to apologize to the LGBTQ community for refusing to represent everybody in her district—regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.”
“People always have their own views,” said Bill Hoelscher, president of The Mosaic Project of South Texas. “Bigotry is something that, it’s hard to fight. I would suggest that people are uncomfortable with our community or feel we don’t belong get educated. Talk to us.”

Frankly, if you are openly gay and if you live in these areas, you need to vote with your feetQuote:

Yeah, because someone educating themselves about gay issues is such a bad thing.Quote:

FFS, being gay is not a condition, it's as normal as being heterosexual, so why the special treatment?
^^^^...I don't know...I don't keep up with local Pride events...SD has no idea...
...not at all...it's your general snarkiness that's the bad thing...let Maanaam's incarceration be a lesson to you...Quote:
