    either comply or be fired.

    This

    people should be punished for expressing their 1st amendment rights.

    And this are not equivalent. Basic respect for peers as a requirement for employment is not a violation of your first amendment rights.

        Not sure you get how the law works.

        I do understand how it works.

        think you’re also missing this is a bill for the government

        I am aware.

        You have no right to be called anything you want.

        I never said otherwise.

        You end up with people pushing back because it’s against their 1st amendment rights.

        You get people pushing back because they’re bigots. Requiring basic respect for your peers is violation of your 1st amendment rights.

        If one government employee verbally harrases another, saying “get back in the kitchen woman” to a female employee. They will be fired, and rightfully so. This is no different.

            That is protected under the 1st amendment.

            I’ve already explained how it isn’t.

            Do you think only speech you like is protected?

            No, I don’t. But that doesn’t change that it isn’t protected for the reasons I’ve already explained.

            There is a law that protects people from that. Sex is a protected class.

            And does it violate the first amendment rights of the employee who says “get back in the kitchen”? No, no it doesn’t.
