- Ther are lots of ridiculous laws still on the book in this state,
- certain sexual acts are illegal even among hetrosexual couples.
- To use a certain law which is generally un-enforcable and may even
- be unconstitutional as the basis for not hiring someone is really
- stretching for a reason for discrimination.
- Maybe Cracker Barrel should question their hetrosexual employees
- on their sexual habits to see if they are breaking any laws?

- So now we should discriminate aganist someone who has done nothing
- wrong, just because of a group they belong to?
- I thought guilt by association went out with the 50's, I guess I was
- wrong.
- I might agree with you someone who is HIV positive should take special
- caution or not perform certain jobs, but to discriminate aganist
- a group because of a "if" goes aganist everything I think this country
- stands for.
