    That same argument could be used for gay people. “If your sexual preference is challenged, just nod and move on”.

    If we are going to continue to create arbitrary protected classes to stop unfair firings, politics should be one.

    So you feel it is unequal have employment protections at all because your political views are not in the list? That is absurd.

    You have no idea how employment law works if you believe a person fired for cause can just say “it is because I am gay” or “it is because I am Christian” or any other protected characteristic and have anyone believe them.

    Since you didn’t take “offense” at handicap or religion being a protected group I doubt it has anything to do with inconsistencies and likely has to do with other reasons. But say whatever you wish to defend these absurd positions.

    You need proof... a lawyer... time. We will never stop unfair firings. But a person still has rights. But not always a case.

    Whats absurd is the idea of arbitrarily saying one protected class is better than another.

    Ive taken offense to all forms of it, and always believed exactly as I am saying now.

    Just because there was never a topic about it that i saw doesn’t mean it never happened.

    You make a lot of assumptions based on...nothing.

    How does a gay person hide their spouse? How does a white person hide their skin? How does a handicap person hide their disability?

    You make a conscious choice to don a red hat and inundate others with your political narrative.

    You make a conscious choice to talk about it. Remember dont ask dont tell? The same concept applies.

    If you make a protected class you should be logically consistent.

    I make assumptions based on narrative and posts that I have witnessed. If you never through to whine about other groups but draw the line at gay people that creates an image of a narrative.

    You are supposedly military, if you saw someone holding a gun up would you assume they have bullets in that weapon and are potentially dangerous or would you waltz up and offer to share a coffee with them?

    Do you believe Christians should be able to be fired only because of their religious preferences? Yes or no?

    So a a gay person should not be allowed to have their spouse at work functions or have pictures of their spouse at their desk if allowed? What about if someone sees them in public or finds their wedding announcement. Or should they just hide that better?

    How does one hide their skin color?
    Their disability?

    And then when blacks contract COVID at a higher rate it's due to white racism.

    Yes, you make ALOT of assumptions and they are based on your bias. I didnt draw the line here, again you ares imply assuming that.

    I thinks we should give business the ability to hire and fire at will completely up to them and allow people to choose to support them monetarily or not support them....or ensure that all the different types of people and their politics are protected. Especially considering the much larger issue of people getting fired for their politics.

    Your comparison with a gun and bullets is completely a non comparison lol.

    If we are going to create protected classes, then religion should be protected to. If not, then no I dont care if they get fired or not. What I want, is logical consistency.

    That’s essentially the argument he made, yes. Why should I have to hide my politics anymore than a person should have to hide their spouse?

    People have rights and that is why we have courts and laws protecting people. If a gay person was hired and it was known that person was gay I doubt they'll be fired for it. Most jobs ain't about sexual preference. Or race or religion.

    Most of the political speech firings were done due to creating a hostile work environment or disruptive behavior, not because of their beliefs. Political speech is protected in several states but harassment and disruptive conduct is not.

    You still haven’t named a single “special right” that gay people have that others do not.

    That was determined on page one. It is an unconstitutional policy that will be struck down on review. Not much else to discuss on it.

    “Hostile work environment” is anything you want it to be. So yes, it was due to their political beliefs.

    I have literally named this special right. You just dont agree, but you are wrong.

    Tis is easy. The black are the oppressed ones! Nobody wants to tangle with them cos they’re the oppressed ones. If you’ tangle with oppressed ones, you’re the racist, the oppressor. Better leave them along, kiss their shoes and politely suggest to wear masks.

    And kiss their shoes some more.

    Not really, it must be proven. I am guessing you have never hired or fired anyone to believe everything is just “made up”. Odd that you believe gay people are just claiming they are fired for being gay even when it is a legitimate dismissal but assume all “political” firings are not legitimate...

    Gay people are protected based on sex just like you are. You have named no special right. Special means no one else has it.

    It’s proven literally by someone saying that its a hostile work environment inherently being next to someone who disagrees with him. James Demore or w/e his name was, was a perfect example of the lack of logical consistency in that. People can say you are whatever they want you to be, and that you are causing whatever they want you to cause, and boom you are fired based completely on political affiliation.

    I didnt say that at all...odd that you are making so many assumptions based on nothing. Every argument you make is based on so many assumptions lmao.

    I have no special right, but gay people are definitely having a special right by being protected while Trump supporters are not.
