Which is correct and fine and dandy, but that leaves those of us queers in union-busting states with one less advocate and the dubious distinction of being supported by the spawn-of-Satan-unions (per the non-union majority).
But in the argument of political discourse via legislation vs. the court system, I think it is a wash, because both the social conservatives and the GLTB activists will take the constitutional issues of any legislation to court and try to get it before the Supreme Court for review. The key is getting the best case before the SC: one which they will accept and one in which the issues are specific to the civil rights desired.
