Florida Competitive Workforce Act

It it's just public opinion, legal sympathy, and precedent that sets race away from sexual orientation then changing the law won't fix it. We have to made ourselves heard and understood just like those of color did decades ago. We have to make our stand and earn protection like they did... yes the law CAN be used that way but demanding special treatment under is not equality. Better idea to revise the law to include all unreasonable reasons for hiring someone, but then it won't really am at will state, would it?

Your American laws confuse me...

Yeah, American law can be really stupid. People having a boner for independence and freedom of choice clashes really dramatically with people who have a boner for equality and social protections. Battles over changes to American law are basically legislators getting into dick fights (and working to please the corporate sponsors that funded their campaign) instead of having anything to do with what makes the most sense and most benefits the people.

Laws and what people personally think aren't the same thing.

Such as with Martin Luther King did for the "Coloured" people.
They didn't get treated completely fairly upon the laws being made.
Hate, bias and discrimination were still existent with people for a long time.

Which is largely the same issue the LGBT community in some areas are dealing with today.
While in other areas they haven't even passed the legal barrier yet.

One group was former slaves.

The other is a group that has sex different than often occurs naturally.

shit, I opened this thread again

One group having had gone through worse doesn't mean the other groups issues don't matter at all.

But it does need to be noted that Homophobia is more culturally accepted than stuff such as Racism

I wouldn't bet on that if I were you.
