A dog married to a church?

I know. It's perverse.

[Uncle Ted]

Why does that law matter? It's from Denmark.

Hmm... So folks can to be married in any church in Denmark?

I wish I would have gone to Chick Fil A for lunch today to show my solidarity. I support people like these two young women who are taking a stand!

According to a pretty substantial percentage of CUFers the Church ought to/will be performing gay marriages. Denmark is just showing us the way.

If you can get past the title, this so wonderfully and touchingly (to me anyway) expresses how gay people are experiencing this controversy and what is at stake for them.

Great article, I agreed with all of it but the conclusion.

One issue with the article is the obviously false statement about being able to be fired in more than half the states because he is gay. I am not an all wise attorney like DDD, but federal law prohibis this type of behavior. There may be some old laws on the books, but they are unendorced and unenforceable, that assertion is merely propaganda.

Yep, you're not a lawyer. Which federal law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment?

You win, except for federal contractors which are required by executive order, there is no specific protection for sexual orientation. I just assumed.

I did find this:
The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA) contains a number of prohibitions, known as prohibited personnel practices, which are designed to promote overall fairness in federal personnel actions. 5 U.S.C. 2302. The CSRA prohibits any employee who has authority to take certain personnel actions from discriminating for or against employees or applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or disability. It also provides that certain personnel actions can not be based on attributes or conduct that do not adversely affect employee performance, such as marital status and political affiliation. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has interpreted the prohibition of discrimination based on conduct to include discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Message: If you are gay and want to have a modicum of administrative, legally nonbinding protection against discrimination, working for the federal government is your best option.

I am sure this make everything okay for most gay people.

I hope that one day federal law will prohibit this. Barring that, I hope that that sexual orientation is recognized as a protected class sooner rather than later.
