Wicked Wanda,

In the situation you describe, it may be best to remain discreet. The world outside this one can be unforgiving of what it doesn’t understand.

I know I sound like a broken record (thereby dating myself) but your best hope lies in the ballot box. The passengers in one or two 747s would have changed the outcome of the last election.

The same people could change the next one.

The law, 5 USC 2302(b)(10), prohibits discrimination against federal employees or job applicants on the basis of off-duty conduct that does not affect job performance. There is no explicit reference to sexual orientation in the statute.

What is the problem here? It happens to be the case that there is no reference to sexual orientation in the legislation. Both counsels were nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. One of them interpreted the legislation to include sexual orientation, and one did not. Take a look at the legislation. Take the time to actually read what it says. Not what it should say, but what it does say.

Think about this for a moment: do you want your rulers to implement what the laws of the land say, or do you want them to implement only those bits that they feel like doing? Do you want them to interpret the laws as they are written or as they feel like?

If you take it as written it does not give people the right to fire you if you are gay as long as it doesn't affect your job performance, i.e. your lover coming on your job and acting up, which can go hetero or homo, you shouldnt be fired for your lifestyle. So dont take your at home shit to work or your work shit home.

nikanik,

Keep you private life private? Madam, I like how you think!

I just wish I could fire half of the people here in my office for being stupid. That should be more offensive than gay IMO.

Bardog,

You're right. Being stupid IS more offensive.
