You attach personal wrongdoing to an employee’s sexual orientation choices, penalizing the employee for making the decision after being hired.
But I understand your economic argument: why should an employer be punished for economic consequences stemming from an employee’s unilateral decision to change their sexual identity? Especially in a “at will” state?
Still have not had a chance to read the opinion, but it seems that economic consequences would be fair game, especially with small businesses (contrast a large corporation).
Edit: FWIW, the statute applies to businesses with 15 or more employees.
