As a civilization, we are now taking pains to publicly protect private sexual behavior against one’s personal views?

Why?

People’s personal views are their own business.

What others do in their bedrooms is their business as well.

The public sphere is not a place for private affairs.

Moreover, it is not even professional.

I digress.

The [Supreme] Court…granted review in the fall on two LGBT cases. One is Altitude Express v. Zarda, where the Court will decide whether, for Title VII’s federal prohibition on sex discrimination in employment, the term “sex” includes sexual orientation. In another case, R.G. & G.R. Funeral Home, the Court will decide whether “sex” includes gender identity.

It is one thing to say that federal law does not protect sexual orientation and gender identity like it protects on the basis of race or sex.

The word “sex” does not necessitate “sexuality”. To assume the word “sex” relates to “sexual orientation”, for instance, is bigoted because you’re assuming someone’s “sex” decides their “sexual orientation”.

The word “sex” as it is used in the Civil Rights Act is referencing the biological sex of someone, not their bedroom preferences.

Don’t ask, don’t tell.
