[quote=Anonymous]I'm gay, and while I guess I'm supposed to have a massive problem with this law, I really don't. I don't think it's unreasonable to use the bathroom that corresponds with your anatomy. Once you undergo a physical transition and your anatomy changes, you can use a different restroom. Seems pretty fair to me. Where's the discrimination?

Of course, I am 100% against discrimination of the LGBT community in employment, but let's be real, creating a protected class under the law isn't much more than a feel-good measure. Most employment is "at will" so you can be fired at any time with or without a reason. Unless your boss sits you down and says "we're firing you because you're gay," what does a law like this provide for us? Plus, how often does that realistically happen? Maybe in 1976, but in 2016, the vast majority of employers know better than to say things like this to your face. Maybe protected class is important for those rare situations, but I think the benefits of being a protected class are greatly exaggerated. [/quote]
