If the left is going to make sexual orientation a protected class, then that includes straight people. While these same individuals may scream discrimination over things that don’t exist, they are the most exclusive political party in all of American history.

No one understands this better than Christopher Thevanesan, whose heterosexuality was “weaponized” at his previous job at Starbucks.

Thevanesan was fired from a New York Starbucks and claims it had something to do with him being straight as a ruler.

According to the Independent:

A longtime Starbucks manager is suing the coffeehouse chain for discrimination, retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, accusing his bosses of ignoring the “extreme and outrageous” harassment he claims he suffered on the job because he is straight.

Christopher Thevanesan, a “heterosexual, gender typical man” in Rochester, New York, claims supervisors at his location treated him “in a materially different manner” than employees who were “not heterosexual and/or gender typical men,” according to a lawsuit filed under New York State’s Human Rights Law and obtained by The Independent.

The suit, which was served on Starbucks in late February, describes the 47-year-old Thevanesan as “a model employee who performed the essential functions of his employment in an exemplary fashion.” However, it contends, his LGBTQ+ coworkers created a “hostile” work environment for Thevanesan due to his “gender typicality and sexual orientation,” and higher-ups allegedly fired him when he complained.

I would not be surprised if this were true, as we live in a time where fitting into identity groups is seen as an accomplishment. DEI can include people solely because of their bedroom preferences and it’s not uncommon to see people being punished for having a politically incorrect orientation.

Reached by phone on Thursday, Thevanesan — a person of color who now works at a bank — said he was reluctant to comment before consulting with Neil Flynn, the attorney who filed the lawsuit on his behalf.

In a subsequent call, Flynn told The Independent that he believed Thevansan’s heterosexuality had been “weaponized” against him.

Leftists will make these traits their entire identity solely to get themselves to fit into a victim class. They embody these "characteristics" so much that it's unsurprising to see them punish people for traits that the majority of the population has.

The company had an obligation to make sure the workplace was free from harassment and they have that obligation no matter one's orientation. So while Starbucks may or may not be guilty of what they are accused of, we currently live in a time where it would be unsurprising if true.

I hope he prevails in this lawsuit solely so the left can understand you can’t punish people for insignificant traits. You also should not hire or promote people based on bedroom preferences and the sooner the left realizes that the better off everyone will be.

That said, Starbucks coffee tastes like burnt trash and it's incomprehensible how it has such a cultural chokehold on people.
