The Law Is Catching Up with Jesus, Doctor Seuss And Most Of The Rest Of Us

      I don't have a law degree from Harvard or Columbia. I'm not possessed of a brilliant mind or a great intellect or profound wisdom. I haven't made a career of studying, deconstructing, and interpreting the law. I'm not a member of the United States Supreme Court.  But even without all that I could have told you that everyone deserves to be treated fairly. Isn't that just basic morality, learned from childhood, taken for granted by every decent human being?  Did it really take many battalions of lawyers, judges and justices of the highest level fifty years of poring over arcane legal ifs, buts, and what-have-yous to come to the amazing conclusion two days ago that it's wrong to deny one group of people the same civil rights in the workplace as are given to everyone else? I could have told you that.
       In fact  decades earlier Dr. Seuss  clearly elucidated the concept in his children's story, "The Sneetches."  

    And twenty centuries before that Jesus summed it all up in less than a dozen words: "Treat others as you would want them to treat you."
      But here we are, twenty centuries and millions of words later, and finally the most learned lawyers in the land have declared that the same employment laws that have always protected one group should protect us all, whether we're plain-bellied, star-bellied,

...switch-bellied,

...or somewhere-in-between-bellied. So to speak.
      And this is good. It's a cause for celebration, even if it's taken twenty centuries for the way we should have been treating each other all along to become law. 

       Though most of us probably didn't need a law to tell us that everyone should be treated fairly. We already had Jesus and Dr. Seuss.
