rg> You straights take for granted all the ways you express heterosexuality,
    and now that #2 passed, I'd call that a "special right".  It doesn't take
    much, i.e.  "That guy who calls here once in a while during lunch, he's not
    your BOYFRIEND, is he?  You're not one of those FAGS, are you?  We don't
    want FAGS working here..."  Or...  "Joe saw you coming out of xxx last
    night.  We know only FAGS go there, and so we're wondering about you.  If
    it's true, you're FIRED!"

  Why would you want to work at such a place? There are other jobs, and unless
  you're a masochist, working at a place where the only thing keeping you from
  being fired is an ordinance like the kind Boulder, Denver, and Aspen have
  is pretty dumb. And, how many employers can really afford firing all their
  gay employees willy-nilly, since they "can" now?

  Also, what exactly was the point of those three ordinances? Do you honestly
  think an employer would say straight out "We don't want fags, you're fired"?
  Isn't there a much easier (and less-litigous) way to fire someone?
