Sexual Orientation, how long before its nationally protected from discrimination?
0-2 years
3- 5 years
6-10 years
11-15 years
15+ years
Never
With equal rights winning all over the place the last decade or so and marriage protections winning I dont think it will be too long. My guess is 3-5 years. Definitely in my lifetime. Some states and counties are even desperate passing and trying to pass ant-equality bills lol
I actually hope more and more attempts to pass anti-equality laws happen and also pass because its the very thing that helps and speeds up the process. Just like with gay marriage it gave people something to challenge and fight against. They weren't smart enough to realize it but making all those laws against equal marriage is exactly what helped it fall.
So far 22 states have equal protection for sexual orientation, another 11 have it for the public workplace. No bad but we need more and soon!
Oh yeah, there are also many counties and cities that protect sexual orientation within the states that dont. and 485 of the fortune 500 companies also protect sexual orientation equality.
