the fact that Anne Heche was straight, went gay, then went back straight. the idea is that sexuality is not a constant like race, but something that individual has the ability to act upon willingly.

i think it gives credence to the idea that somebody does willingly choose to pursue a homosexual lifestyle, but does not prove that people are not born with a disposition towards a homosexual lifestyle.

In order to be a protected class, the characteristic that is used for discrimination has to be immutable.

For the people who have "switched teams" (both ways), which side of the fence is valid for the purposes of a determining if their protected status is valid.

So, let's say one of the lesbians in this scenario decides that she really likes men 5 years from now. Does that change the lawsuit? Or would she still be able to be lesbian for the purpose of a lawsuit while engaged in a heterosexual relationship based upon her proclamation of homosexuality alone?
