You gays that said oh trump is good there we endorse him . Your thank you card just arrived.

Oh great

In which third world country?

I think you mean ‘US Supreme Court’. Doubt that the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (you being a UK-based newspaper etc...) has this on its lists at the moment.

I'm as straight as they come but I couldn't give a damn if someone is gay or not. You're either a good person/employee or not, what does one's sexual orientation have to do with this. Trump country going further down the drain.

WTF

... Or female... Or black... Or disabled... Or... Well... It's a slippery slope.

Unbelievable that this is a headline in 2019, ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t understand America. Political views of judges should have no influence on their legal judgement.

What has being gay got to do with a person’s ability to do a job? It is NOT an employer’s place to judge their employees’ personal lives, especially with regards to who people are attracted to. It’s nonsensical and wrong.

Why is this even happening, of course it’s discrimination and not legal to fire someone for who they love!?!?

Laws on assisted dying don't need to be abolished but people should break them, says former Supreme Court judgeLaws on assisted dying do not need abolishing because people should break them instead, a former Supreme Court judge has said. Just waiting for the religious cult victims to object. 🙄 Denying person A the right to die on the grounds that B is supposed to be too feeble-minded to exercise it, or because it might make C feel bad about themselves, is nonsensical and patently unjust. And yet it's a fair summary of the weasel-worded case against assisted dying.
