In reply to Federal Appeals Court: Civil Rights Act Protects Gay Workers

One of the frustrating things, to me, about the court's decision re gay marriage - and the ensuing joy - was that it really didn't change things for people in the real world. Not everyone wanted to get married, they wanted to be equal. As I recall it was debated here as well (with my involvement). My frustration was that people could still be fired and refused housing, yet we think we've won something by them being able to marry? Wonderful for those who required more than an agreement which gave them rights as spouses but not the financial and other truly essential rights that heterosexual couples enjoy. I've always gotten and certainly championed that. But it has never been enough.

This is a shot at making people who simply lead a different personal life as protected as those who lead what's considered a normal personal life. Simple enough, right? We'll see. Until then, I'll continue to be really frustrated.

Sigh. Thanks for the very

Sigh. Thanks for the very helpful suggestion, AA, but I'm now a tad frustrated by what appears to be more interest in my posting snafu than the important article I posted. Grrr x 2.

If you are getting a result of a post without content, just a title, this is what works for me:

Go "back" on my browser and my full entry will still be there (works with both Firefox and Chrome.) Then carefully hover your cursor over the title already in the "In the News" column until you've caught the "Edit" link on the bottom of the empty post, and right click on it and open it in a new tab. Then just copy from the old tab window to the new empty post and hit publish on the latter and close out the former.

Yep, I always do the latter

I always just plan on the first time failing since it almost always does. I make sure I copy the summary so I can paste it on the second try. And I never close the article so it's still up in a tab. It's a bit of a pain but not too bad if you plan for it.

Grrr. Fixed the link, etc.

Grrr. Fixed the link, etc. after hitting "save" originally ate it. Again.

If SCOTUS takes it up, it will become another case requiring the biting of nails for obvious reasons. The Court right now doesn't seem the sort to be willing to expand any rights outside of the conservative context, but if a real difference is to be made in employment discrimination - outside of Congress - it will have to happen there.
