Maybe they will put in a new check box next to race?

If so, a good strategy would be to always check "yes" in the "are you gay" box. You will have a much higher chance of getting hired, and it will be virtually impossible to fire or demote you.

Why don't insurance carriers start refusing to insure gay people? Their lifestyles put them in the "at risk" category. Just like smokers are now labeled as 'at risk'.

Well, I always checked "Native American" everytime I got one of these, heck, I was born here in the US on July 8th, 1966 so that makes me a "Native American" even though I'm of German, Swedish, Russian, Russian Jew and Serbian heritage (and God knows what else). I think the form makers have gotten wise to "wiseguys" like me because they now went back to American Indian. B-P

I do agree with RCA2000 that "it is part of the big plan" and I do believe it will come crashing down one day, but there are times I think a good strategy is to play their game and turn it against them, sort of like mental judo where you use your attacker's strength and moves and turn them to your favor.
