Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
A person can control their religion, and that's illegal to discriminate against. A person can also control whether or not they're in a union, for example, and retaliation from an employer based on that is illegal. "Is it something that can't be controlled" isn't the test for whether or not something is considered illegal discrimination in employment.
Which, also, none of us know why he's overweight and it's frankly irrelevant. There could be any number of reasons for it that aren't controllable or aren't currently under control, including mental health conditions and hormonal issues. He shouldn't need to give employers his medical records before they decide whether or not to comply with a request to exclude him and only him based on his appearance.
Not necessarily disagreeing, but religion and the right to associate are rights protected by the constitution in most circumstances.
