Christine, I DID NOT say what you say here you have stated that because you work in your home, you would not hire a homosexual to work for you.
Bring up the post, Christine. I didn't say that. I said that, as a home office self-employed person, by law I MAY NOT if I don't want to, hire a homosexual. This was in response to a post by Greystone, who thought he would try a little indocrination-type chanting on me, imploring me to "repeat after me": blah blah blah.
Fact: I'm not a lawyer and neither are you, but I do believe that I read recently in the Investors Business Daily that the anti-discrimination laws for hiring in California DO NOT Apply to employers with less than 5 employees.
And obviously Christine, if I was to hire ONE PERSON, and I interviewed the following:
a Black man, an Asian woman, a Caucasian male, a Mexican woman, a Gay male, and a handicapped woman who was a Vietnam-era veteran, I still only have one position, and can't hire all of them. If I hire the Black man, do I automatically get hit with a discrimination lawsuit from all the others besides the white guy?
Use yer head for something besides a hat-rack, Christine.
These attitudes of yours would seem to be generally discriminatory towards homosexuals,
No, it's just that I know my legal rights, and I don't like politically correct people trying to tell me what the law is, when I darn well know that in my own home, I can rent to or hire anyone I darn well please, and don't need some politically correct puppet telling me to "repeat after me".
Gimme a break, I'm not as think as you dumb I am.
You also stated that you would not support legislation guaranteeing homosexuals equal employment rights.
I stated that I believe that we shouldn't make laws that aren't necessary, if they aren't necessary, simply to make a politically correct "statement". Why is it that Gays get so much fawning attention by everyone? You know full well Christine (or do you?), that gays are in demand in the corporate work-place, because corporations are so EAGER to appease, and so FRIGHTENED of being accused of discrminatory behavior, if they happen to not have the correct % of such and such type of people.
Sometimes people are discriminated against, just as Blacks and other minorities have been discriminated against in the past, for instance in the housing and bank loans markets. That's not right, and laws have been enacted to correct the wrongs and make sure that the classes of people who it's proven have been discriminated against have laws protecting them.
But frankly, Christine, if any employee of mine (if I had any employees) started telling me about their sex life, I would wonder what that had to do with the job they were supposed to doing. |
