It’s happened now and going forward it’s the law of land so I find zero sadness in it. Now I and millions of others can go anywhere in the country and not be discriminated against for who we love

Good discrimination against any group only causes hate and division among ourselves. We need to show love and respect to have unity.

If you have a hard time believing people can have issues noticing things, come work with me in HR for a week and you'll no longer have that issue. Assuming you notice of course.

I used pronouns until the mods made using wrong pronouns warnable, so I use names instead; if you see malice there, that's entirely on you, and if pronouns are no longer warnable, I'll go back to using them

The title is misleading.

"LBGT+ Discrimination in the Workplace Illegal in the US for 56 years"

Any blue collar american has seen this posted on a wall at work.

He'll surely vote differently for virtually any other topic (such as abortion), but surely the evangelical base won't like this news.

Not something like this should have been left in the states and Congress. The Supreme Court had no business whatsoever making a rulling such as this.

Present some evidence that this does not fall within SCOTUS' remit, rather than just insisting that it doesn't.
