DOMA and Prop 8. Both History.

[Nystul]

Because I can say that I don't like your shirt. Or that I don't like your attitude. It's some bizarre state law that also means that they don't have to give you a reason on why they are firing you.

Nothing is so simple. For example, former Ohio State basketball coach Jim O'brien famously sued for wrongful termination and won millions of dollars. Less famously some of my coworkers have been "walked out" and had their jobs reinstated a day or two later. It may be that there are no specific state laws offering protection to people in these situations, but such protection can be built into your contract, and federal laws as well as Constitutional rights also apply. By same token if you refuse service to someone and you are violating some federal law by doing so it really wouldn't matter what state you live in.
