When will equal rights for sexual orientation be nationally protected?
0-2 years?
3-5 years?
6-8 years?
9-10 years
10+
Never
LIke with equal marriage rights the road wasn't over night. While it was a great victory, one that i was so happy to witness with my own eyes more equal rights victories are happening all the time.
Like i always said about equal marriage rights, there was a time when i thought it would never happen in my life time. Then that changed with a couple cases and bigots overstepping way too far helping equal rights spread. It was then i KNEW it would happen in my life time. Their persistent bigotry is what helped it! Try to force their views on others and treating them as lessers paved the way!
Well now another injustice will be fixed in my live time and national protections for sexual orientation is on its way. My personal prediction is 2-6 years but at the most I say 10.
Right now whether the discussion is about housing, employment or public accommodations at least 20 states protect sexual orientation already. Theres court cases with more on the way. Many major cities and or counties in side the states that dont do and the vast majority of 91% of fortune 500 companies. (83% for gender identity which is amazing considering it was only 3 in 2000)
