And I concur.

Honestly-my friends are my friends. What they choose in life, or life has chosen for them matters naught to me. They, who they are as people, are what matter to me. 

So with regards to the employment Civil Rights laws, I also would fully expect that their employers treatment is (and will be) the same for everyone. I just see the old law as still protecting all (as in everyone) with or without a special category classification - really I do.  And I say it should 100%  protect equally of course.
