You've answered your own question.
Also, 007 is dead WRONG!
Illinois General Assembly PASSED the state Nondiscrimination bill in January of 2005 and laws were put into effect January of 2006 that GLBT identified and those percieved to be, cannot be fired for their sexuality or identity!
I worked along with Equality Illinois for several years lobbying state Senators and Representatives to get this initiative passed...and we FINALLY WON!

Because gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders and the new minority.
The passed laws to protect everyone else so they need to make fun of someone and take it out on them. Religions have equal rights, race have equal rights, women received thier equal right, blacks received theirs... get the gay guy.
Want to give the KKK a 3 for 1 get a black jewish lesbian and they will wet their pants.

Because discrimination is still alive and flourishing in these "free" United States thanks to our conservative constituents
