This is not just an attack on GLBT folks, and cis-hetero person could be fired for not appearing to adhere to someone's idea of gender roles.

Over 30 and never married? Fired
Married with no children? Fired
Male with no interest in the Superbowl? Fired (I wish I could say I was kidding about this)

The GLBT community has created freedom for the rest of us. This is why we should support GLBT rights.
