WTF?

[livejournal.com profile] elke_tanzer has more details about this US article (LGBT Federal Workers Lose Job Protections), but I'm just reading and going "WTF?"

So, you have recourse against being fired for homosexual conduct (attending pride rallies is the example given), as long as you can prove that you're straight? Is it okay to sleep with women (or men, if you're a guy), as long as you still identify yourself as a heterosexual?

I mean, isn't it the conduct of sleeping with the same gender that gives you the status of a homosexual? How can you divide one from the other?

As I read it, it's basically saying that if you're straight, and you're fired for being gay, it's descrimination. If you actually are gay, then that's fine.

Some days I just want to smack everyone in the world until they behave like proper people.

Most days, actually.
