Jeff Sessions Thinks It Should Be Legal to Fire You for Being LGBT

In the latest and most significant anti-LGBT action yet from the Trump administration, the Justice Department last night filed a brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit arguing that federal civil rights laws do not protect individuals from discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The case in question concerns a former skydiving instructor who filed a lawsuit against his employer in 2010, alleging that the company terminated him because of his sexual orientation.

16. LGBT Trump supporters are the biggest dumb asses ever.

The LGBT Conservative subreddit went into a cognitive dissonance-driven meltdown after the Fuhrer's banning of transgender people from the military. The entire sub shifted into calling transgender people "mentally ill" and demanding that the sub drop the "T" from it's name. It was kind of like in 1984 where the citizens were told that the were always at war with a certain place, and they would all go along with it and rip the old propaganda posters down despite knowing that none of it was true. They're either delusional or idiots.

17. "They're either delusional or idiots."

Let's just say both and call it a day.

Trump will pay those idiots back for their votes like everybody else.

With a knife in the back....MAGA baby!

2. qualifications for being a skydiving instructor:

1) please show me that you have extensive experience skydiving
2) please show me that you can communicate clearly and effectively
3) please describe the genetalia you prefer in a sexual partner. we'll fire you for having sex on the job, but we still need to know.

Even worse. SMDH

Bring on the witch hunts republicans.

this isn't just a GLBT issue, though GLBT folks are the most specifically targeted.

Trump and the republicans want to make that legal again for sure.
