Now, how do we apply that to the rest of the country and to all businesses. Maybe even just start with religious schools.
I’m just curious...when exactly did CONGRESS amend the law to specifically include LGBTQ+FJB as a protected class?
Not that there should be ANY ‘protected classes’ in the law...
If you have an employee meeting the public that employee is an extension of your company. The public sees that employee and forms an opinion about your company based on what they see. You wouldn’t want to hire someone who has a “N” word tattooed across their forehead. You also wouldn’t want to hire someone who is obviously a man dressed as a woman, unless your business or products were exclusively for that type of clientele. If you’re selling burgers or auto parts or farming equipment, you’d rather have someone who isn’t projecting some mental illness. If you have hired someone like that at the front desk you can expect to get a quieter version of the Bud Light treatment. There won’t be any protest, but your business will dry up.
I ran into the former manager of my favorite auto parts store at his new job in Walmart. I mentioned the “person” who took his place who is man pretending to be a woman. He rolled his eyes and said, “Yeah, “she” can be abrasive as Hell.” Then, realizing he was being politically incorrect he quickly added, “But she does know her stuff.” I found the new manager’s constant jealous-seeming criticism of the beautiful actual woman coworker annoying, and I now shop at another store, which, incidentally, is mostly crewed by women.
The point is if the state forces you to hire someone who is obviously wearing their sexual politics on their sleeve, they are forcing you out of business.
Too bad Mike Pence didn’t have the same fortitude when Apple’s Tim Cook threatened Indiana over that state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Fifth Circuit would most likely have stood up for it too.
