    Yeah, it doesn’t have to require a legal solution. Public shunning is an effective tool against things like this. Most people feel shame. As well, most employers do not want to employ blatant bigots, and losing your job can be just as harsh as any legal system punishment would be. In most cases, public shaming is all it takes for the event to dissolve entirely.

      Most people feel ashamed of being put in a negative spotlight. I’m not sure that equates to them actually changing their thoughts. More likely they will just become more discrete about sharing their thoughts, which changes absolutely nothing.
