On this particular issue (sexual orientation), or in general?

Because the 16th amendment kind of goes against you on all kinds of discrimination except for sexual orientation. Private and public organizations are subject to the amendment which says you can't factor race, gender, religion, ethnicity or nationality into the hiring process.

Private organizations can keep members of certain races, genders, nationalities out. Augusta National comes to mind. Discriminating on prospective memberships are perfectly legal.

But the 49ers locker room isn't a membership, you have to gain employment there to become a part of it. So the 16th amendment applies.

I don't see why one would ever discriminate against sexual orientation but not against race.
