31 states allow employees to be fired if they're gay

[Smash Adams]

and 39 allow the banning of transsexuals

this is one of those things that I honestly can not even begin to fathom

I do as well

I'd love to know which states it's in
if anyone can figure that out I'd appreciate it

edit:
this is old but it's a list of 10 of the states that don't allow it

I can't believe that this is 2007 in America and this still goes on.

I also find this apalling
but
for the sake of argument, I could see this policy as making sense depending on what kind of business we are talking about
for instance, a fundamentlist evangelical christian bookstore couldn't really afford to employ a homosexual or transexual could they?

[motioncity182]

that's horrible. that is nothing but pure discrimination, and that is downright wrong.

[Smash Adams]

This is such a fucking joke. Are you honestly serious?
I hate to say it but it's true
I can't believe that this is 2007 in America and this still goes on.
that was pretty much my reaction exactly

you do make a point
I don't know the full details- I would love to though

can you imagine telling your boyfriend why you were fired?

[thetrueblood]

well if you let one gay work there the next thing you know he's turned half your staff gay and instead of getting work done all they do is give each other handjobs and facials in the bathroom and no work gets done.

bad argument. it justifies not hiring people of different races because one could say that your customers are generally racist.

Personally, I can say that transexuals make me uncomfortable. Gays, I can deal with but trannies...not so much.

Honestly, you should simply accept people for who they are. Not being able to deal with a transexual is just as bad as not being able to deal with a homosexual.
