MG I couldn't find "sexual orientation" in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964... only race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.
I was wrong... I guess business owners can tell the fags to go take a hike.
I did get this off of the National EEOC Website:
In addition, lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals may bring sex discrimination claims.
These may include, for example, allegations of sexual harassment or other kinds of sex discrimination,
such as adverse actions taken because of the person's non-conformance with sex-stereotypes.
My guess is they are fighting to be included in EEOC the same way the Age Discrimination act was added in 1967 and the Americans with Disabilities Act was added to the list in 1990.
As far as your question about a legal argument that says congress can pass laws contrary to the 1st and 13th amendments.. seriously?
You've never heard of the Constitution??
It is a document written a really long time ago that outlines our 3 branches of government and how they can make and change laws.
Congress can introduce a bill that eliminates the 1st and 13th amendments if they want to... If it passes both houses, it can be signed into law by the president.
