    You're the second person to ask this, and I worry that people will toss gay rights aside as soon as something else comes up. This victory was huge, but we still aren't equals.

    Most of it gets solved if we become a protected and suspect class. That would stop discrimination in housing, employment, adoption, giving blood, and a horde of other areas.

    Although, there is an issue with protected classes as a whole. I find laws which prevent people from doing what they want, or which police their thoughts, concerning. However, regardless of whether that should change, the State itself should be controlled in this manner. At the very least, the State should not be permitted to make laws which harm a specific group of people without cause.

    ---

    I personally dont much care for becoming a protected class. Just a suspect class is enough. If an employer doesnt want me, I wouldnt want to work for them either. I dont see value in forcing them to keep me, or forcing them to create a fake reason for firing me. But there is immense value in stopping the State from limiting freedom for fun.
