Gay Couples May Soon Have to Choose Between Getting Married and Not Getting Fired
Salon ^ | July 3 2014 | Mark Joseph Stern

The U.S. Constitution protects gay people’s right to marry the person they love. It does not, however, protect them from getting fired for doing so. Throughout the first decade of marriage equality, most states that legalized gay marriage also proscribed anti-gay employment discrimination, rendering this legal dissonance moot. But as more and more states find marriage equality foisted upon them by a judicial mandate, this discordance in rights presents something of a ticking time bomb for the LGBT movement.

The gay couple that ran a company I worked for fired me one month to the day after my son was born. Proving I was a breeder was a bad career move...

^ this. They will never ever be satisfied because they know they are broken and want everyone else to be the same. They understand they are not normal and can’t change the laws of nature andit makes them very bitter and angry so they take it out on straight normal people.

“The U.S. Constitution protects gay people’s right to marry the person they love.”

Could someone point out where in the constitution that is found?

Maybe if you had offered your child to them as a sacrificial lamb they would have kept you on.

Sure... now the government is a Pope and is going to tell our churches who to hirend our families what kind of baby sitter to hire.

Forget about it. America has become the worst nation on Earth.

If it does not vote for them while poor or does not make immediate pedophile sexual gratification or money for them, they are not interested.

Sick people.

And not just gays. I remember a few girl friends jealous of my first children too. That was a quick dump decision for me.

2 men or 2 women can live with and sodomize each other till the cows come home (cow-man relationships being the next thing the courts will legislate as marriage)

But marriage is between a man and woman and for the purpose of procreation and no perverted judge can convince me differently.

Vicious little cycle they put themselves in. At some point hopefully they’ll tire of it. Meanwhile leave me the hell alone!

Does it not also protect devoutly religious people from NOT recognizing or celebrating this “marriage”?
