Supreme Court Bans LGBTQ Discrimination At Work – A Lower Merion – Narberth Perspective

by Gerry June 15, 2020

ABC SCOTUS LGBTQ Ruling

ABC News -“The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today that LGBTQ Americans are protected by the anti discrimination laws of this country, at their workplaces. They cannot be fired or otherwise discriminated against at work, simply because they are lesbian,  gay, bi-sexual, or trans-gender.”

“I could get married tomorrow, go to work Monday, bring in a picture of me an my husband, put it on my desk, and get fired.” 

Larry Felzer said at a “Unity Event,” in Narberth on November 12, 2016 – four days after Donald Trump was elected President Of The United States

Felzer had this to say about today’s landmark ruling:

It is very exciting and gratifying to have the court rule that discriminating against LGBT individuals is against the law in the workplace.  However, this does not cover individuals that work for smaller employers (under 15 employees) nor does it cover discrimination in housing and public accommodations.   So although this is a huge victory, there is still more work to be done in protecting LGBT individuals against discrimination.

    What a disgusting example of a human being. He looks diseased. His so-called “rights” do not extend to the suppression of my property rights nor my right to free association despite what the Supreme Court or the Congress decree.

Want to Try Luge? From Lower Merion, It Starts With a Drive to Lake Placid

I was watching the Luge on NBC over the weekend. I thought it was boring, especially when juxtaposed against the more dramatic events, like curling.  The color commentator kept explaining how each “slider” was doing something slightly better or worse than the others, but to my untrained eye, they all looked the same: feet first, […]

These Garments Have Been Politically Maligned

Most non-Arabs who wear the keffiyeh do not intend it to be Anti-Semitic in any way. They wear it as an expression of sympathy for Palestinian civilians, support for human rights, concern about war, or identification with a broader cause of national identity and self-determination. In their minds, it is directed toward Palestinians, not against […]

What Does My Fountain Pen Have In Common With The Former Lord & Taylor In Bala Cynwyd?

Both come out of the work of Raymond Loewy and his design firm. Raymond Loewy (1893–1986) helped define what modern America looked like in the mid-20th century. Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]

January 16-18: The Philly Pen Show — A Delightfully Analog Experience

It’s an unapologetically analog event: pens, paper, ink, and the people who still care deeply about them. Whether you’re a serious collector, someone who misses the feel of writing by hand, or just […]
