And in many of those states, you can be fired for simply being gay or trans.

edit: Given how fast this post hit -4, I have to assume that these people are *OK* with being able to fire gay or trans people at a whim. That ain't cool, one bit.

No, you're being downvoted because you are, thankfully, wrong:

Supreme Court rules workers can’t be fired for being gay or transgender

Oh please. You're "technically right", being the worst kind of right... And also just plain wrong.

Instead it's called "lack of culture fit", "insubordination", or a myriad of any other right-to-work excuses as to fire someone you disagree with.

But yes, for those stupid enough to put "Fired because of gay", well, it still is legal due to the loopholes a Mack Truck could drive through. https://www.courierpress.com/story/opinion/columnists/jon-we...
