(45,319 posts)protection in employment don't care about economic issues. Did you read the link?
If jobs are an important economic issue, and LGBT people face legal discrimination in employment then ending that discrimination is very directly addressing income inequality issues. You can not suggest that there is any sort of equality as long as there is discrimination in employment.
LGBT people face all the same economic bullshit as you do, then some more that you are not even aware of.
From that link again:
"LGBT people face the same socio-economic challenges that other people who share their sex, race, ethnicity, age, and disability face. But they also face unique obstacles because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. These include a higher risk of being homeless when they are young, harassment and discrimination at school and at workplace, and being denied the economic benefits of marriage."
Vague insults hurled at me do not substitute for specific discussion of the facts raised. 29 States. Talk about that instead of lashing out and avoiding the substance of the matter.
Economic progressives do not run about claiming that workplace discrimination against minorities is not an economic issues.
