Not really, all they do is lead in the end to a more divided society.
And that still does not change the basic fact you cannot have both "protected classes" and "equal protection under the law". The SCOTUS choose the former and ignores the actual Constitution in doing so.
Civil rights led to a more divided society? Good ******* grief
No, anti-discrimination laws do. They put a facade over the problem instead of allowing it to be fixed. It is just one more example of people wanting the government to make them behave.
And you keep ignoring that the basic fact you cannot have both "protected classes" and "equal protection under the law".
Yeah freeing the slaves just put a facade over the country too. They should have let slavery go on and on until the oppressors found it in their great loveable hearts to to give slaves some time off every once in a while or something


You are conflating two separate things. Owning another human being is a separate issue from discrimination.
I know you are just trying to make an emotional argument and cannot present your case from a side of logic, but you are failing badly

Race is scientifically proven to be genetic and not a choice of the person.
One's sexual orientation is not proven either way, but studies will show the causes DIFFER.
It's not genetic like race, because studies on twins show it's not 100% correlation where twins of like DNA having the same orientation.
The argument that orientation is a CHOICE how to act on it socially/culturally/in public
is equally faith based and up to each person what they do or do not believe.
Last I checked
BlackFlag the govt could not make policies
that ESTABLISH one faith-based belief over another.
It's discrimination by creed, in other terms.
Trying to compare orientation with race only goes so far.
The common factor is not to abuse or harass people because of their beliefs.
For individuals, it's known as the Golden Rule where you learn to treat others with respect that you want for yourself.
That cannot be enforced by Govt but remains free choice that individuals learn to respect each other's beliefs.
The part that Govt can enforce is not to discriminate either by race, creed, etc.
I have posted in another thread, the idea that gender identity might be better off
treated as a faith based expression and exercise so it is protected by the First and Fourteenth
Amendment REGARDLESS what people believe or don't believe. You don't have to agree
with a belief for it to be protected from govt infringement.
Since orientation and identity cannot be proven like Race to be always determined at birth,
what I am suggesting is treating it as someone's faith based identity that cannot be discriminated against either.
Would that solve this problem by bypassing it?
