Geez. Everybody’s a freakin’ protected class. If this passes, I’m just gonna stop taking chances on hiring effeminate guys, because if they turn out to be lousy, it’s gonna be hell to get rid of them. That’s a shame, really, because I’ve worked with some really exceptional gay people. But the policies that are put in place to avoid lawsuits from protected classes are so arduous that I’d rather hire someone with a mediocre track record than take my chances on someone who lacks experience but otherwise appears to be a star. It’s easier to not hire than it is to fire. Fine. Maybe they’ll stop lisping and acting like girls.
And yet employers are allowed to openly discriminate against employees who might smoke tobacco even if that occurs only in their off hours.
