I'm just as protected as I think |

Obviously ed is not a lawyer, at least not a very good one. Anyone who needs these issues resolved should talk to one. Employees are a lot less protected than they think - that's why America is so successful in business - because we can fire people.

Actually I am protected, you might not be. I'm British and subject to protection under the European Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms enshrined in English Law by The Human Rights Act 1998. That prohibits discrimination on grounds of sexual orientatin (unless potentially damaging to national security). It also protects privacy as a fundamental right so I can do what I want outside of work so long as it doesn't breach my contract of employment. But I'd have a dog.
