help people keep their jobs no matter their sexual orientation

Created by T.C. on December 22, 2015

Queer people don't have any laws protecting their employment in 29 states, meaning they can be unjustly fired at any time because of their sexual orientation, regardless of whether or not they are out. (When including protections for trans people, that number goes up to 32.) Congress still hasn't passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would end this exclusion, despite public opinion now falling on the side of LGBT rights in the workplace.
