My husband is in upper management for a large worldwide company. They are sensitive to gays by offering domestic partner benefits. I can't tell you how many times a person has needed to be written up or fired for absolute carelessness of their job and when my husband reports to human resources they say if the person is gay that extra special caution should be made because they could come back to the company with a lawsuit for wrongful termination. My mind can't wrap around that if you arent doing your job or showing up, or showing up intoxicated that the three write-up rule can't apply if you are openly gay.

He's been at this company for nearly a decade and its been a real problem trying to get people who obviously don't want to work out of there. It's gotten this way with race, gender and pregnancy as well.
