Question of the Day: Should a Muslim worker be fired for refusing to take off a head scarf for religious reasons?
Hani Kahn, a 20-year-old American Muslim woman, is suing clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch, claiming that she was fired when she refused to remove her religious headscarf, called a hijab, while working at one of the company's Hollister Co. stores in San Mateo, California.

Question of the Day: With New York state legalizing same-sex marriage, do you believe other states should follow suit?
(CNN) - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law on Friday that made New York the sixth state to legalize same-sex marriage, more than doubling the number of Americans living in states that permit such unions.
The measure will take effect 30 days after it was signed, on July 24, providing same-sex couples with a slew of new rights that include employer health benefits, easier inheritance and a host of state tax breaks.
Federal recognition, however, was not a part of Friday's vote, leaving benefits like Social Security and ease of immigration largely out of reach for same-sex couples.
