Agree.
Definitely plays a role in hiring, and cant see how its illegal?...most people want to hire stable, normal people with lives/interests. I don't care if you are single or don't have kids etc...but please, have some sense of stability.
Put it this way....how many career contract go anywhere Gulfstream/Global Gods would you put in the "normal" category....not a single one I have ever met.
Then again, there are plenty of oddball departments/jobs out there...so theres something for everyone!
