Which is then reported to and retained by the state! Why the fuck would we maintain centralised databases of minorities?! What happens if Mississippi or Florida copy this precedent?

Collection of information about "sexual orientation" seems like a textbook HR violation. How is anybody supposed to comply with this?

Maybe people are just allowed to decline to state it?

Every time I've been asked to fill out a demographic survey at work, or during a job application, there's always an option to decline to provide the information. I would expect the same to be true here. If it weren't I don't see how they would win a court case to defend it.
