Just_A_Guy Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 It is not a protected class under the Civil Rights Act or Americans with Disabilities Act.Gender is, but sexual orientation isn't.Now, there are certain states that specifically include sexual orientation in non-discrimination language for certain things like Housing. But it's not a sweeping Class Protection. Make sense?Okay, JAG will probably correct me on this one.Nah, I think you're substantially right. Quote
Crash Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 It may not fall under the CRA or the ADA but it certainly is being argued in the highest courts and state legislatures, including Utah's, are bringing bills to vote on such things. Ask Phil Robertson what happens when you say something, albeit accurate, about homosexuality. Quote
Just_A_Guy Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Yeah; those arguments come back under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. Quote
