Did You Know?

Posted on | June 13, 2007 |

Did you know in this great state of Pennsylvania one could get fired from his or her job because he/she is gay? I did not know this either until I watched the news this evening. There is a bill in the works to expand anti-discrimination laws to include homosexuals.

Some republican represenatives believe that being gay is a lifestlye choice and should not be included. One used the word “immoral”.

What ever happened to ability to the job? Who cares if that person is gay? Why should sexual oreintation even be in the workplace? If a person can do the job and do it well then that is all that should matter.

Its not okay for schools to discriminate sexual orientation. So what good is that degree if they can’t find a job because someone thinks that person is gay? Work should be about work not about anything else.

But it’s not okay for a gay business owner to fire a straight person on the same grounds; not being gay. Yeah this the land of oppurtunity if you’re not gay, that’s what I understand from a lot of people in politics.

I hope this bill passes because it is the right thing to do. People who are gay are still people and deserve the same protection and rights that we all enjoy and take for granted.
