Tony's only a politician as a side job. Mostly he's a historian and comedian. He's a damn fine historian, by the way. My college bio teacher looked and sounded exactly like him. It was terrifying. The man played the banjo.
I am an American, yes. You are wrong about that. The laws are patchy and separate, but I'd say the ADA laws are stronger than a lot of anti-sexism laws, and also, there's a big push to streamline the laws. Also, anti-gay discrimination in some areas of the law is pretty bad, though trans discrimination is mostly legal. It's just that our country gets around to passing the same laws that had been passed for the last group for the next group at a slow and uneven rate.
