And since when are employers able to fire gay people? A protected minority I believe. You need to get a clue dude.

Google is your friend. Only 13 States plus DC outlaw discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation. An additional 8 states outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation in public employment (i.e. government employment) only. There are no federal laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation. The Supreme Court has ruled that sexual orientation is not a protected class.

In most of the US, it is perfectly legal to fire someone for being gay (or straight, or bisexual or whatever).
