Poll question: Do you support the rights of LGBT people to not be fired from their jobs for being LGBT?
35 states refuse any protections for LGBT people in the workplace. If your boss does not like LGBT people, and discovers that you are LGBT, you can be terminated on the spot. You cannot fire people on the basis of their sex, race/ethnicity, or religious beliefs in any state.

Sexual orientation should be a protected class. Sad state that it is not so everywhere.

14. Did he finally get banned?
Don't worry. He's had more incarnations than Vishnu. He'll be back in minutes, with some new handle like Assholishchatter or something.

You're just using this as an excuse to blame the GLBT community for your hate.
