Only 21 states have their own laws prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Wisconsin outlaws discrimination because of sexual orientation but doesn't protect transgender workers. And fewer than 300 cities and counties have local ordinances protecting LGBT workers, according to an advocacy group.
The AP found workers are particularly vulnerable in the South, home to an estimated 35 percent of LGBTQ adults. Out of 16 states the U.S. Census Bureau defines as the South, only Maryland and Delaware prohibit discrimination against gay and transgender workers. Protection at the local level is sparse, with most Southern states having five or fewer cities or counties that shield private-sector LGBTQ workers.
Billard, a substitute teacher and longtime employee at Charlotte Catholic High School, was fired after announcing on Facebook in 2014 that he was marrying his male partner. "You get married on Saturday and fired on Monday, and there's no protection," said Luke Largess, one of Billard's attorneys.
The SOUTH, will rise, again. It, just, hasn't caught up, yet. Only 70% to go. Most non-college southerners don't know what TQ, even, means. Even, TRUMP, who knows they are among his greatest supporters, calls them 'DUMB SOUTHERNERS' He called Jeff Sessions, such a slur. AMAZING!
I can only wonder why 😂
You r er wonder why ABC gets most of the exclusive interviews? It’s because they don’t have Oppenheim.
I live in the Chicagoland area and I wonder who will protect me from having their agenda shoved down my throat.
