    I thought it would take until 2020 for something like this to happen.

    This is absolutely fantastic, and I am unspeakably happy for everyone who can now marry.

    Yay.

    Now let's hope the movement doesn't lose momentum before we can end discrimination and recognize trans rights

    I think the actual activist     movement has been focused more on anti-discrimination laws recently because once it's up before the supreme court there isn't much you can do but wait

    Just from the executive branch down, the cape-wearer whose reaction was cited in the OP has also described trans people's rights as "the civil rights issue of our time", I don't think he's gonna let it stop here. And he did basically force Obama's hand on marriage equality (albeit while Obama was gearing up to make a major announcement of it), so I wouldn't be surprised if we see more movement on trans rights before 2018. (Then again, executive order 13672 might be the most Obama personally can do without congressional cooperation.)

    the former. as in, laws against certain forms of discrimination in employment.

    eg laws against being fired for being trans.

    that's why we need braces to represent how to parse things correctly

    in general in the US the default is "at-will", meaning you can be fired for no reason. any kind of idea of "wrongful termination" is an explicit legislative exception. there are some federal statutes about discrimination, which are fairly new, eg you could be fired for being female before 1964

    I think--and this is true of most shitty statuses quo--people don't care because it rarely bites them, personally, in the ass.

    Because it intuitively makes sense, even if it is horrible.

    I think that fighting employment discrimination on the basis of sexuality is probably an easier fight than the one that was won today

    which is better than the alternative but still, the fact that our neighbors in Durham are purple kinda shows that they need to improve

    I guess I should say, that's how it is without other agreements between employer and employed

    Granted, the cynical part of me figures it might as well be "you can fire anyone for any reason" because even if there were rules in place, employers would just make up "legitimate"-sounding reasons to fire people
  • Obā-sanObā-san

    are you implying 2gay2function isnt a validreason for firing someone

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    I can usually sympathize with Seth MacFarlane and the position he's found himself in, but man, that legit makes me want to punch him in the face.
  • Obā-sanObā-san

    i will tell you what watching Date Movie with the audio commentary from the only two film critics they could find who did not totally pan it (they apologize for failing to do so profusely throughout) was legitimately really fun

    He is, ultimately, probably more deserving of hate than those guys.

    I don't think Seth McFarlane actually likes anything, with the exception of old Hollywood musicals.

    So even if I didn't support marriage equality, I feel like I'd still think this was a bit, uh, tasteless.
