One thing I never understood about discrimination laws - how do you prove somebody was discriminated against? It's something that possibly takes place inside a person's head, is it not? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. Carry on.
Exactly - personally I know 3 gays who are all very high IQ, one a high-level administrator, one an entrepreneur who started his IT company at age 19, one mid-level manager. I would hire all 3 of them on the spot as they are outstandingly efficient, super-smart and one of them is wiser and more stable than most people I ever met.
But of course I take their sexual orientation into consideration to a degree just when I would hire a woman as a pilot. Outstanding individuals are always outstanding and they don't need any constant psychic evaluations.
Besides - most companies discriminate heavily on the grounds of race, height, weight, gender (usually against men in office environments or STEM as was proven true in a recent study), your alma mater, your heritage, religion etc. They just don't tell you shit what they really think about you behind closed doors.
