I think many protections have existed well before this year.
Clinton ended job discrimination based on sexual orentation by executive order in 1998.
I can guarantee courts have treated homosexuals as a protected class long before 2015.
I guess I'm not sure what you're referring to from the second quarter of this year.

About half the states don't have LGBT protections in the workplace.

True but federally it's nation wide.(granted this means you need federal jurisdiction to sue but that's not to hard these days) the point of the beginning of my post is that op was using the wrong terminology, I really wasn't trying to debate how protected homosexuals are as a minority. But I suppose op's issue is pretty settled so we need to find somthing to bicker about.

LGBT people are not a protected minority if they were them every state would have anti-discrimination laws, it would be forced onto the states like gay marriage was. Unfortunately it isn't.

Edited by LeatherDaddy88: 9/4/2015 5:39:32 PMI think you are conflating some issues here. Principally jurisdiction. In a state that does not specifically define sexuality as a protected class, a person can still file a complaint in federal court claiming they were discriminated against on the basis of their sexuality. So nation wide sexuality is a protected class. (The supreme court has upheld this numerous times lumping sexuality in with sex discrimination) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_United_States#Anti-discrimination_laws_.28and_lack_thereof.29 (I would refer you to the last sentence of the fourth paragraph where title 7 is mentioned)
