Theres a distinction between that image you posted and actual discrimination regarding something someone is unable to change such as their race/sexuality. How many times have you been declined service because of your person? Not attire, but who you literally are. Its not even comparable.

That isn't really correct though. If not wearing an attire that is appropriate for that business is part of my personality then I'm getting rejected because of that. I can't change mypersonality. So forcing a shirt on me and act like a normal person is the exact very same as forcing a gay person to act straight.

Both don't hurt the person physically and both are easily possible but both will make that person feel really uncomfortable and wrong.

Dude are you serious?

Are you really comparing a uniform to sexuality? Even the line "act straight" is mis informed because it has nothing to do with acting, its who you are. Someone can "act" as straight as they want, but that has nothing to do with their sexuality which is determined by who you are attracted to, not how you act. Imagine someone refusing you a job because your girlfriend is blonde.

Code of conduct at work is one thing; "speak like this", "dress like this"... Essentially being asked to adjust your means of expression to fit a business/event. Someone can't just go home and change their race/gender/sexuality lol,  they are not means of expression.
