Can a person be fired from their job just for being gay?

The Federal Equal Opportunity laws.

Maybe I'm not looking at an updated version, but I see nothing about sexual orientation.

I live in Oklahoma so yes. It happens quite often, actually. Being overtly flamboyant here or trans means you can only work in certain areas.



I am biased, being gay, so I can't offer a good perspective here. My response is obviously that I don't think I should have to hide being gay at work.

Where in Oklahoma do you live? I live in Tulsa and the job i worked at for 13 years no one ever got fired for being gay. One of my best friends become a manger and he is gay. In fact something happen 8ne day and one of the other employees try to hurt him cause he was gay and our other boss stood up for himmand so did i and i am a born again. So perhaps it is your part of Oklahoma. But my part i never see that happen and i was born and raised here.
