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.

    Government cannot lead society; government can only follow society.

    Society? No.

    Commerce? YES.

    There are such good points all over the place; people refuse to see the world for what it is.

    The most entrenched religion of them all is Statism.
