The following statistics are alarming. Currently, there are 29 states that have no state laws in place to protect lesbian, gay, and bisexual employees from becoming terminated from their work positions, as a result of their sexual orientation. Furthermore, there are also 33 states, which lack state laws that protect working transgender people from the same employment discrimination.

Statistics such as these only mean one thing. Thousands of hardworking Americans are at risk, with no job security, of being vulnerable to the impulses of a discriminatory boss.

The time has come for equality everywhere, including the workplace. A crucial Senate committee just passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). Such an act gives the Senate a remarkable opportunity to finally face this issue heads on!

Please contact the Senate regarding this issue right now and make your voices heard!
