The U.S. DOJ tonight announced it was changing sides on a court case arguing that Title 7 should cover discrimination against gays - that's the part of the US code that forbids discrimination based on gender. The US was previously supporting a case saying that it should prevent discrimination against homosexuals, the U.S. DOJ is now arguing that discrimination against homosexuals should be legal.
I, too, reacted to that headline with despair, but what's really being said is the word "sex" is in definition to the reproductive organs of the individual, not their sexual preference. Basically, they're saying new legislation needs to be passed to protect people based on sexual preference.
While I hate everything about this, perhaps we can get some real legislation on the books.
