14 percent of a workforce sample of more than 2,000 gay, lesbian and bisexual workers experienced workplace discrimination during 2002.

Discrimination can be overt: a cutting remark directed at you, for example, or being passed over for promotion. It can be covert: not being asked to bring your partner to the boss's party, or uncomfortable looks when you put your partner's photo on your desk.

So, they found about 200 people who experienced "discrimiantion"? And some of that "discrimination" was a (gasp!) cutting remark? Some of them (can you believe it?) were passed ovr for a promotion? That NEVER happens to straight people! Of this group of 200-some people, others experienced discimination in the form of an "uncomfortable look"!

It's like the Jewish Holocaust all over again!

It's like the Jewish Holocaust all over again!

Huh?

No, it's worse, because the French don't do this.
Many French happily took part in the real Holocaust.

I want to know what is wrong against discriminating against a self destructive and (IMHO) perverse behaviour?

I can see the point of outlawing discriminating behavior based on race, and, possibly, gender, but I don't see behaviour as something that should be protected.
