- but that's the whole point (not that this amendment was about equal protection). -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:20 25
  - I think I missed what we are talking about. But, out of curiousity, how many states consider being gay a protected class? -- nm - sycor May 9, 07:22 24

    - You can legally fire someone for being gay (no othe reason necessary) in 29 states. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:23 22
      - interesting. thanks for the info -- nm - sycor May 9, 07:26
      - But you can fire them for wearing an orange shirt in those same states. Or for being straight for that matter. -- nm - spamlet May 9, 07:26 20

        I think I'm pretty consistent on deflating what seems like shocking statistics with reality. - spamlet May 9, 07:36 7

        Out of the 29 states, how many are right to work states? - spamlet May 9, 08:11 2
        
        The IM isn't an excuse. I would like to know how many are right to work states versus at will states where there is no protection either way. -- nm - spamlet May 9, 08:12 1

        That's just a rephrasing of "the law in its divine justice allows the rich to sleep under bridges the same as the poor." -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:38
        
        You can be fired for being Black - Bacon May 9, 07:35
        
        well the orange shirt thing actually happened. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:33
        
        Uh, two months ago people got fired for orange shirts -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 07:33 1
        
        Which I'll admit is total luck and not a great memory. -- nm - spamlet May 9, 07:38
        
        did you just actually use 'canard' in a conversation? - decline May 9, 07:33 3
