The case before the Supreme Court, Romer vs. Evans, dealt with a voter-approved 1992 Colorado initiative that would have allowed employers and landlords to exclude gays from jobs and housing.
that would have allowed employers and landlords to exclude gays from jobs and housing. And fancy that, they could before the initiative was passed, but for piecemeal interference by slobbering looie liberal nanny state gummints.
I can think of many employers who ought not be required to hire sexual deviants. For example, a man who has a pedophile orientation should not be allowed to work at a school for youth even if there is no proof he has ever acted on his sexual desires and promises never to. A stable ought not be forced to hire a man who has a preference for bestiality. A Church that believes strictly in traditional man-woman marriage ought not be required to hire men who prefer to date and sleep with other men.
And, of course, the Boy Scouts ought not be required to hire and retain scoutmasters who have a sexual preference for males.
Far from being sacrosanct, sexual deviancy ought to be a basis for discrmination in a great many hiring decisions.
