No, because that’s never been a thing and thus straight people require no legal protection, whereas LGBTQ+ people have often found themselves fired solely on the basis of their sexuality, therefore they need legal protection.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of equal rights here. Of COURSE it includes straight people, by letter of the laws, anywhere sexual orientation is included in protected classes.

Yes, I get that. I’m saying there’s no law that addresses straight people in particular.

Right, but what they are saying is that the relevant law does not address LGBT people either.
