Photo reblogged from I'm a cheeky bastard. with 483 notes

ryanjdavis:

You can be fired in 29 states for being gay. Learn more at GLAAD and stand up for Ellen.

you know, i just sent a message to riva about this, but i should probably just tell the lot of you
this is misleading
arizona is a right-to-work state, which essentially means that you can be fired for any reason, or for no reason at all
23 of the 29 states mentioned here are also right-to-work states
i would tell glaad about this, but i have a feeling they already know this and like every other activist organisation they are loath to correct their own statements to clear off the bullshit
instead, we could always start some bullshit of our own! “STATES WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO FIRE ELLEN JUST FOR DANCING BEFORE THE MONOLOGUE” “STATES WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO FIRE ELLEN JUST FOR CHANGING THE NAME OF HER SITCOM” “STATES WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO FIRE ELLEN JUST FOR HAVING A MANAGEABLE HAIRSTYLE”
or turn it around and use it in a more general sense! “STATES WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO FIRE SOMEONE JUST FOR PREFERRING DEEP SPACE 9 TO THE NEXT GENERATION” “STATES WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO FIRE SOMEONE JUST FOR USING IN-CANAL EARBUD HEADPHONES” “STATES WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO FIRE SOMEONE JUST FOR WASHING YOUR CAT BLANKET IN WARM WATER”
strangely (but not really) enough, all of those are just as true and less misleading than “STATES WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO FIRE ELLEN JUST FOR BEING GAY”
