Previous actions, comments, etc. Actually, there was a case not very long ago in CA about a straight guy who was fired from a gay establishment, and he was suing because they SAID they terminated him because he was straight. But some folks are bold enough to say, "we have to let you go because of this..." and they are that bold because they know that right now they can legally get away with it. |

well if it's a "gay" establishment... i don't see why that's a problem. for the same reason every dipshit dude that's tried to be a hooters waiter gets turned down.

(i've been to many gay bars, and about 90% of those stripper guys turn out to be straight) |

well, silly to you but you don't own a gay bookstore... maybe the owner feels a gay person will better serve gay people?

i just think it should be fully within a business owner's rights to not want a specific gender at their establishment. especially if that establishment's business is gender related.

In which case the legislation wouldn't apply.

y'all know those places where you have to be hot to work? like that hair place "knockouts" or hooters...
they don't have to hire fat/ugly chicks or some swinging dick like me. so why should someone have to hire some freakshow? why should anyone have to hire anyone for that matter? and since when did you have a legit excuse to fire anyone? last I heard this was a free-market economy, which means legislation should butt the fuck out. |
