Re: [UUPoly-L] On coming out Poly

["Laura Stewart" <mathlaura@gmail.com>]

Sexual harrasment is illegal on the federal level.  It's very easy to
show sexual harrassment via discrimination based on sexual orientation
even in states where sexual orientation is not a protected category in
the same way as race and religion.

I am personally aware of two very easy lawsuits based on sexual
orientation discrimination in Texas, where it is not a protected
category.  And Texas is also an at-will employment state.
