"Sexual orientation discrimination is also sex discrimination because it is associational
discrimination on the basis of sex. That is, an employee alleging discrimination on the basis of
sexual orientation is alleging that his or her employer took his or her sex into account by
treating him or her differently for associating with a person of the same sex. For example, a
gay man who alleges that his employer took an adverse employment action against him because
he associated with or dated men states a claim of sex discrimination under Title VII; the fact
that the employee is a man instead of a woman motivated the employer’s discrimination against
him. Similarly, a heterosexual man who alleges a gay supervisor denied him a promotion
because he dates women instead of men states an actionable Title VII claim of discrimination
because of his sex"
Holy shit! They did extend the gender discrimination category to heterosexual men as well. Wow! So whatever protections were being received by women to bring about fairness in the work place are effectively rendered void. He may now claim just as she does that him not getting the job is due to sex discrimination.
