2 is very important to me, because I don't like the idea that I could legally be fired from my job just because I'm gay. Keep in mind that the Equal Opportunity Employment Act already protects against discrimination based on issues such as race and religious beliefs, meaning that you can't be fired for being Black OR for being White (goodness knows I've had people be racist against me just because I'm White), and you can't be fired for being non-Christian OR for being Christian. I would hope that a sexual orientation and gender identity clause would make it so that people could not be fired for being gay, bisexual, asexual, lesbian, transgendered, OR straight. I'm not asking for special privelages--I'm asking for EQUAL RIGHTS.
And if you're against distinction, why are you against 6?
Oh, and there aren't laws saying that people can't make fun of other groups. So, people can still legally make fun of anyone for anything, really. It may not be popular or "politically correct," but I'm against political correctness anyways--I believe in 100% free speech.  |
