Equal Opportunity…unless you’re LGBT
In 29 states, it’s still legal to fire someone because they’re gay; in 38 states it is legal to fire someone for being transgender.
Thousands of hardworking lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans have lost their livelihoods simply because of who they are. HRC is working to end this bitter injustice by passing a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a federal bill that would make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire, or refuse to promote employees simply based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Senate has, for the first time, introduced a fully-inclusive ENDA. Send your Senators a message today and encourage them to co-sponsor this critical legislation.

The HRC has a form letter on their website you can fill in and click send to get the message sent to your senator. If you have the time, please call your senators and ask them to support the bill, but I know many of us are very busy and this is an easy way you can help support the effort for equality under the law.
