Yup! This only affects blatant discrimination based on gender bending (lol) or sexual orientation.
As someone on the other end of the stick (not a sexual pun, I swear) who actually lost his job for being gay a few years back, I'm really glad the ruling occurred. My documentation meant nothing due to the lack of protections, but if the same thing would have happened today, I would have either been reinstated in my position or compensated for my losses.
I am worried about the churches and Christian schools, and forced associations. I do support Christians rights to not be held to forced associations or to retain a staff member or pastor who has come out, this going against their religious beliefs and that is going to happen.
I am also concerned about SCOTUS stepping into legislation, not their job or right.
That being said if you work anywhere else, no one should be fired exclusively for their orientation.
It's a very gray area at times. On the one hand, I totally agree — religious institutions should not be prosecuted for holding up their beliefs. I'm gay and I totally understand if a Church didn't want to hire me as a teacher, for instance. However, the same openness to discrimination of hiring/firing lends itself directly to concepts like deplatforming conservatives on social media.
So we either accept that anybody can be fired for or discriminated against for any affiliation or we protect all classes. It's very hard to make the case for the middle ground because everyone has their own agenda.
Everyone should be able to be fired or discriminated against for any reason. There is no alternative because there is no such thing as a protected class for a straight white Christian male.
You can always find a way to fire someone. Just document, document, document to cover your ass.

Yes I do understand that. But I have seen the lawsuits toward churches and Christian colleges about this. It’s not okay.
I do thank you for your comment and ability to have an adult conversation, must mean we are both conservatives 😍
I also really enjoyed the sketch! Thanks for posting that.

Start pushing HR departments to address any unprofessional conduct.
“Oh I get it. I’m not persecuted. I’m just an asshole.”
