      Discriminating based on political ideology was always allowed.

      It just doesn’t matter and isn’t a good rebuttal because the fascists and Nazis are the ones with the power, so discrimination against them doesn’t hurt them the way their discrimination hurts others.

    Many states never agreed with LGBT people having employment at all. Much of the history involves homelessness as a result of not being able to have sustained work because in many states, society would label and sabotage the ability for LGBT or people believed to be LGBT to have employment which is necessary to maintain housing. It was very much a sustained, methodical, approach that was taken. This is true going back to the Lavendar Scare in the Federal Govt, where like rooting out communists during the McCarthy era, they made sure to take all the Govt jobs away from anyone believed to be gay. Discrimination at work is a key means of taking away the right for someone to work.

    Now they have many new weapons to enforce this end result in the lives of people living in the states that want to bring this back.

    Oh hey, it’s this asshole. This guy is the reason I reacted to that news about making all court rulings only apply locally with some humorous positivity. (also because humor helps me cope with general awfulness)

    Seems to me that if you can discriminate on gender identity and sexual orientation, you should be able to discriminate on any basis at all. Maybe next time this asshole goes out to dinner, he should be served like the little bitch he is. Bring his food and drink in pet bowls and remove his silverware.

        Well, just discriminate the prices then. Mr. fancy pants can afford to be intolerable to everyone else? That’ll be 2,000$ for the 100$ meal.

      I had the unpleasant experience of having to stay a night in Amarillo on a road trip. I went to a bar close to my hotel, and every single person including the fucking bartender was smoking.

      It was disgusting, I got a large round of drinks for my group and we went to the patio where nobody was and away from the smoke, we did roshambo to determine who had to go back into the cancer room to get more drinks.

      I had to go in twice and each time this man was over explaining pool to some woman, over what was probably 30 to 40 minutes I don’t think she ever took a shot, and that dude was still talking out his ass.

      Also, just like in the movies some guy comes out and walks up to us and says, “y’all aren’t from around here”, I kinda got anxious, but it turned out he was a nice person and even educated and just desperate for a decent conversation.

      Amarillo is a shit hole, and Lubbock is even worse, probably the most toxic air I have ever had to endure, it was nauseating.

      Yup. For those who are not aware, they structured that district specifically so that all lawsuits filed in certain zip codes in Amarillo go to this guy. So any time they need a convenient MAGA cout ruling, they find someone in Amarillo to file the lawsuit over it.

      It will eventually lead to the end of American based hegemony. It is going to take about a decade and a lot of suffering of the American people.

      But on the flip side China will have more room to grow wheat.

    Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk must have a lot of cases to handle since seemingly every far right case is filed in his court. We’re going to have so many judicial reforms to enact to bring back even the semblance of rule of law but add venue shopping to the list.

      I really dont get how you could be anything less than humiliated to take pride in, and belittle others, over something you have absolutely no part in.

      While this 2008 bit is about Nationalism, the point is the same.

    Why can’t people be punished for being anti-lgbt? There is no non-religious reason to belive so and religion is an invalid reason. Because these people deserve punishment.

          You run into issues since I believe the satanic church still claims to be an atheist organization. Something new is best.

            Yeah, which is almost unfortunate because its one of the most godly churches in America, which is hilariously ironic and make me think of the whole, the devil will be worshiped as god and god worshipped as the devil. American Christians are largely satanic and the church of satan is extremely godly…lmao

      The non-religious reasons aren’t discussed as often in the US but they do exist. As a great example, look at the USSR. Very not-religious and very, very against homosexuality.

      Oh, no! It’s not just harassment!

      You can destroy someone’s life and livelihood because you think they’re gay!

      Getting fired from a job at a time when the federal gov is actively cutting social supports, and intentionally driving the economy to ruin when most U.S. citizens have meager savings (if any), and are dependent on employer provided health care is an instant path to free fall for most people! Unless those peasants have family that is willing and able to support them, or a high demand skill that will overlook a recent firing (an automatic D/Q on most HR systems), they are going to lose their ability to feed themselves, pay for their housing, and their transportation in this car-poisoned society.

      It’s not merely a little ‘fuck you’ but you can end their relationships, destroy their health, prevent them from working in their chosen field, and make them die on the streets! Even barring the most extreme outcomes, the health and financial implications from the stress or loss of income can permanently adjust the trajectory of their life (and the life of everyone that is close to or dependent on them) downward.

      Exciting times for soulless bigots!
