In 28 states, a person can still be fired from their job just for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer.
Freedom from discrimination is a bedrock requirement for the pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Without protection against being fired for discriminatory reasons, LGBTQ Americans are often forced to hide spouses and deny their identities at work out of fear of losing their jobs.
It's time for Congress to secure equal protection under the law for LGBTQ Americans by passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, important legislation that would prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
