Posted August 7, 200717 yr You can be fired for being gay :o i just heard this on richard and judy :o
August 7, 200717 yr Shows what happens when you put religious nutcases in positions of power :manson:
August 7, 200717 yr Well it comes as no surprise, at first they treated black people like shit, now it's gays. They really need to wake up and see WHO are the ones in the wrong. :lol:
August 7, 200717 yr I got fired from my job at K-Mart last year RIGHT AFTER I came out of the closet. They said my work ethic was slacking, even though I had just gotten a raise a month ago for being one of their best employee's in the electronics department :manson:

We are so lucky over here in comparison :o Which state are you from, Tyler?
August 8, 200717 yr That is so bad! We are so lucky over here in comparison :o Which state are you from, Tyler? I'm from Georgia, probably one of the most conservative states in the country.
August 8, 200717 yr Just more proof to me that the US needs to put its own house in order before it starts to dictate how other nations should or shouldn't act..... <_<
August 8, 200717 yr Land of the Free indeed :rolleyes: The only "freedom" that exists in the US post-9/11 is the 'freedom' to do what the Govt tells you.... You should check out some of the outrageous provisions that exist in the Patriot Act.... Mind you, not that our own control-freak Govt is really that much better, but at least we dont sack people for being gay....
August 8, 200717 yr Mind you, not that our own control-freak Govt is really that much better, but at least we dont sack people for being gay.... But didn't the Conservative Party stop their best chance of having a decent Prime Minister (Michael Portillo) in the early 1990s because they are (were) a bunch of homophobes....?
August 8, 200717 yr America really is a great place in my opinion, but I only go on that fact because of the people I surrond myself with...
August 9, 200717 yr But didn't the Conservative Party stop their best chance of having a decent Prime Minister (Michael Portillo) in the early 1990s because they are (were) a bunch of homophobes....? Well, I would argue that Portillo could hardly be called a "decent PM", maybe "the best of a bad bunch".... :lol: , but yeah, that's a point I suppose... But is Portillo actually gay....? Seems to me, that he's more bi-curious than anything... And I think there's no doubt that the Tories still pretty much are a bunch of Homophobes, despite what they claim...
August 9, 200717 yr America really is a great place in my opinion, but I only go on that fact because of the people I surrond myself with... America probably would be a great place if the majority of its elected officials actually stood by the principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights...
August 13, 200717 yr I don't know the number of states now but several years ago (around millennium) there were just ten states in the USA that had a law making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation in employment, housing, credit and public accommodations. Those states were: Hawaii California Maine Connecticut New Jersey Minnesota Massachusetts Rhode Island Vermont Wisconsin So maybe seven states have passed these kinda laws since I saw the list leaving 33 still without.
