It is illegal to discriminate against a gay person. However, although legally gay people are supposed to be treated equally to non-gay people except for the small legal privileges they get, there are still some people who discriminate against gay people, and as long as they don't do anything bad to the gay people, are allowed to discriminate in groups through the freedom of assembly law. So even though gay people are supposed to be treated equally, in many cases they are not, and there is still a somewhat negative attitude towards gay people in many areas, even in America.
As of 2017, under the law, gay people are mostly equal to straight people, but people still experience the following inequalities:
- Gay men still lack the right to donate blood without stating they're celibate for at least 1 year
- Gay people can be fired from their jobs for being gay in 28 states.
- Gay couples are routinely denied adoption rights in some states, even though it is legal for them to adopt.
- Gay people still experience discrimination on a daily basis, at much higher rates than the general public
- New bills are popping up every month to deny rights to gay people or to legalize discrimination.
