This is definitely a win for the LGBTQ community but I admittedly am cautiously optimistic. As a personal example, just as it is illegal to discriminate based on race and gender I was let go from my previous employer for “improperly training” a new employee. In 4 years I had never been given the opportunity to train anyone nor had performance issues. Oddly enough my dismissal occurred exactly 2 weeks after I spoke up about lack of opportunities for and racist commentary against me and 3 other African-American employees.
So while this Supreme Court decision is a victory, until “hire and fire at will” is dismantled businesses will be able to look for any bogus reason to discriminate.
If theres one HUGE takeaway I’ve learned over the years from you Micheal. ITS NOT OVER until it’s over. And this is far from over.
