I know, where the hell did that come from?
What a loon.
And PS..what the hell do the two things have to do with each other?
The MO House wants to make it illegal to fire a gun owner for being a gun owner, but it is still perfectly legal to fire someone who is gay just for being gay. They want to grant protected minority status, on par with race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, disability or age to gun owners, but still want to be able to fire the queers.
That's okay with you?
That's right...The Missouri House passed HB1620 that will add gun owners to MOs list of protected minorities.
Under the bill, gun owners who carry their firearms with them in a lawful manner (i.e. possess a concealed-carry permit) cannot be fired, denied benefits, or otherwise discriminated against.

"They gheys" can still get the boot just for being gay though...
I can be fired because of my sexual orientation, my constituents can be fired because of their sexual orientation..."
What the hell is wrong with some of you people? Where does the government get off telling me who I may or may not fire?
I own guns, I love guns, but guess what? The second amendment applies to the GOVERNMENT, not private business. If I as a business owner wish to not hire gun "nuts', or gays for that matter, I should have that right.
Fortunately you dont:
Under the civil rights laws given to all United States citizens with the Constitution and various other regulations, discrimination in the workplace is illegal. Discrimination here can be the result of a number of issues including, but not limited to, gender, race, religion, nationality, physical abilities, sexual preference, and marital status. However, with the help of civil rights laws like the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), employees who feel like they are being discriminated against can take their case to court. If you plan to work in the United States, it is important to understand your civil rights for equality under the EEOC.

We need to get back to the days where we actually lived by the COTUS.
Those days are now, we are currently, actually living by the Constitution, as determined by the Supreme Court.
But being fired for sexual orientation that does NOT infringe on one's duties at work is OK?Not being fired because you have a concealed handgun permit doesn't exactly place you in a protected minority status except in the fevered minds of sissies or radical lefties.
It should be. If I own the business then I should be the one deciding who I want to employ, who I want to do business with and what products I wish to sell (legal products of course)
What business is it of your or the governments about who I fire or why?
owing a gun is protected by the constitution being queer isntI know, where the hell did that come from?

thats right private employers should be allowed to hire/ fire whom ever they choose, as can a employee work where he or she choosesPlease show us where Missouri can fire someone for their sexual orientation...
Wisconsin was the first state to ban employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, in 1982, while Minnesota was the first state to ban employment discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity when it passed the Human Rights Act in 1993. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have policies that protect against both sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination in employment: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey (see Law Against Discrimination), New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington in the public and private sector. An additional five states–Delaware, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, and Wisconsin–have state laws that protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation only.
Five states have an executive order, administrative order, or personnel regulation prohibiting discrimination against public employees based on sexual orientation and gender identity: Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

So only state employees can't be fired simply for being gay...
Here's how no one has to worried about being fired for their sexual orientation.
Keep your fucking mouth shut.
Do your Goddamned job.
oh thats good, Curb freedom because you don''t who someone sleeps with.
I love conservatives!
Do you really wish to work for a person that holds such bigotry?
From my experience I can tell you that customers are turned off from open displays.
Mention specific actions that need to refrained from, and the drama queens come out of the wood work.
It doesn't take an open display of anything to get fired for being gay. You don't have to DO anything, you get fired just for BEING. Seen at a gay bar on Saturday, fired on Monday.
oh, the drama
if someone sees you at a gay bar, isn't it reasonable to assume that thry're gay also?

As an overall principle, I agree with that... but I think workers should have some protection against capricious and evil bosses.
I think we should have a law that you should be able to show cause for firing someone. If you fired someone for something, you shold be able to show a good reason for doing so.
