The Chicago Tribune reports that the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals—which sets precedent in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin—ruled
that workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The plaintiff, a college teacher, said she was reprimanded for kissing her girlfriend, then was not given full-time work at the college and was dismissed. The college denied that it discriminated against her.
MP3 audio of the oral arguments is available.

No. I don't 'get it'.
What I get is that people are free to hate all they want. What they cannot do is discriminate against the people they hate. But feel free to go on hating.

You seem to believe the snap will occur at a point in the future rather than the past.
