In 31 states it is legal to fire someone because of their sexuality.

In 39 states it is legal to fire someone for being transgender. 

 
As you can see, the number of states that currently offer protection for America's LGBT workforce is relatively few. That is why supporting ENDA legislation is so important, especially during volatile economic periods.

Most recently, a story surfaced of a woman from Pennsylvania who was asked for a picture of her genitalia so that she could return to a job that she worked perfectly well in before it was made known that she was transgender. (for link to that story go to the original post--h.)

This is just one story among literally thousands of incidents of discrimination against LGBTs in the workplace. Make no mistake, it does happen, it is happening and it can ruin lives. People reading this may know how hard it is to get a job today. Imagine if your were LGBT and facing the extra hurdle of employment discrimination possibly cropping up at every interview you attend.

But the Employment Non-Discrimination Act can change all that.
