Rand Paul Pretty Sure Gays Can Just Go Do Hair If They Get Fired From Their Jobs

Rand Paul is still laboring under the delusion that he is running for president — did you see the “dumbass” livestream of his campaign day? Didn’t think so. Stumping at Drake University on Wednesday, he laid down some of that Serious Libertarian Free Market LOL business he’s known for, in his answer to a question about whether it’s OK for an employer to fire an otherwise qualified employee for EW GAY reasons. His answer? Let us parse it and point out the Badstupid things he says:
I think really the things you do in your house, you could just leave those in your house and they wouldn’t have to be part of the workplace, to tell you the truth.

. . . .
These are very difficult positions on what you decide will be employers’ decisions and not. And it really isn’t so much about that question, as it is about — that it sets up a classification or a class of people that can now sue. You see what I mean? So what happens is, it sets up a whole industry for people who want to sue.
So if you happen to be gay, and you get fired, now you have a reason you get fired. But it’s almost impossible sometimes — people don’t put up a sign that says, “I’m firing you because you’re gay.”It’s something that’s very much disputed. And so, I don’t know that we need to keep adding to different classifications to say that the government needs to be involved in the hiring and firing.

The blacks and the ladies and the homosexicans and ALL THE OTHER ANNOYING PEOPLE who aren’t white heterosexual males just want to be free from being fired for failing to have white heterosexual male penises. HOW DARE THEY SUE FOR THAT? But for real, though. Is there really a “whole industry,” or is this another way for people like Rand to convince their malformed moron followers that all the minorities are out to get them? It is the second thing, thank you for playing our game!

. . . . .
Guess we don’t need that whole suing industry after all:
I think society’s rapidly changing, and that if you are gay, there are plenty of places that will hire you. I would say the vast majority of corporations already privately have manuals or work manuals that say that they don’t discriminate in any way. I think that to be the fact. So I’m really not [indecipherable] the government more involved in the situation.

. . . .
