There are no states where you can be fired for being gay though, that’s a myth. You can be fired because the employer doesn’t want to employ you, and that can be any reason the employer wants, and there’s no specific state, because it can be any state, any country, any job, any sexuality.
se: if I was pretending to be something that didn’t exist, I would fully expect to be fired for that.
as for being gay, no it is not legal to be fired for that unless your job is giving HIV+ blood.

This map is “true” in the broad sense that it identifies states which do not currently have statewide laws prohibiting all employers from engaging in discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, but it is not the case that those states are all completely devoid protections against that form of discrimination.
in other words, even the snopes page backs up what I said, without me even having to check. literally what I fucking said.
Cool Mod: If I were webcomicsreview’s boss, I’d definitely fire them for being a dumb faggot.
MOD 1: Instant hint for if you’re trying to make a point: if your proof is something that twists the words of the source, just give up right then and there.
Just because it says the state makes it illegal to fire someone for being gay doesn’t mean a boss can’t or won’t still do it.
Fucking enough of these idiot government worshipping statists who think that “if they make a law saying you have to behave that way, everyone will always behave that way, because it’s the law!” I’m embarrassed for your childlike understanding of reality. The government isn’t going to see you sucking their dick on your tumblr and go “oh we should lower that unemployed kid’s taxes!”
*Sigh*
While the twenty-nine states shown in red above may currently lack statewide laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, it is not true that all employers in all of those states may freely fire employees “for being gay.” Some of those red states have laws which protect public (i.e., government) employees from sexual orientation discrimination (but not those who work in the private sector), some of those states have laws passed at county or city levels which protect employees in those local areas from such discrimination, and some of those states protect public employees from employment discrimination through means other than laws (e.g., executive orders, administrative orders, personnel regulations).
And it’s not like this topic wasn’t in the news lately: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-gay-rights-20140709-story.html
I don’t even support ENDA because it’s so easy to fire someone who “just happens” to be gay that the law is kind of useless, but at least I’m not passing off assumptions as fact all day.
