Free Speech is now: “Here are the things you HAVE to say, and if you fail to speak as expected, you will be in trouble.”
Civil Rights are now: “Hire people by their skin color. Also sexual orientation can be considered. Don’t hire people on merit — we might end up with the wrong sort of people on staff. Just hire the “right” people and we’ll be OK.”
What gets me about this “sexual orientation” identity, is that any of us could claim to be a homosexual, and who would know any differently? Any of us could dress in line with the opposite sex and claim to be transgender.
Would anyone claim to be something they are not, just to get a job?????
