> political affiliation is protected from discrimination in CA, NY, and DC

Lawful political activity is protected from workplace discrimination. That’s a far stretch from making it a general protected class, and wouldn’t prevent Stripe from refusing to work with the Trump campaign.

There's no such thing as a “general protected class”; there are different lists (and different effects of the status) of protected classes in various categories of law (public accommodations, employment, housing, etc.)

Ok. Seems like the same spirit of the law to me, but you are explicitly right.
