No.

Yeshiva is being sued under a state law that prohibits discrimination against the LGBT crowd. There are other state and federal laws that prohibit even private sector discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, etc..

However, political viewpoint discrimination by private employers is not prohibited by federal law, nor by most states. So legally, you can generally be discriminated against because of your political beliefs unless you work for a public employer.
