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.

Next time, try to keep the entire context of the discussion in your head when you reply.

Next time don't read the articles, summaries, or anything else that might lead you to comment on this site. Your posts always start of a bit stupid or bigoted, and then you can't handle when people have good points against yours. If you don't care about the discussion and only want a soap box why don't you try youtube comments?

That's actually not easy to do. Reply doesn't give you anything but very comment you are replying to. I often have to manually go to the article comments, find the start of the comment chain, and read through again. Especially for replies that are a day or two after my last comment. Though i know you were shooting for an insult, i am not insulted about this one.
