Doing a little more research following my blog writing yesterday about Arizona’s new attempt to discriminate against LGBT persons, I stumbled onto an important WEB site. Take a look at it. When you go to the WEB site, please read beyond the following brief description of the problem which I’ve included here:
“Qualified, hardworking Americans are denied job opportunities, fired or otherwise discriminated against just because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). There is no federal law that consistently protects LGBT individuals from employment discrimination; there are no state laws in 29 states that explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, and in 33 states that do so based on gender identity. As a result, LGBT people face serious discrimination in employment, including being fired, being denied a promotion and experiencing harassment on the job.”
We may have come a long way, but we’ve still got a long way to go before social justice is secured for all citizens.
