Keep Transgendered Americans Washingtonians Protected at Work

The Democratic leadership in the Washington State legislature Congress has proposed changing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) to remove gender identity from the list of protected statuses. This is supposedly in the spirit of “compromise” to get the legislation passed.

There are 31 states where it’s still legal to fire someone because they are gay, and 39 states where it is still legal to fire them if they are transgendered. Please don’t let Washington be one of those states We can end that practice today with one Federal act, please contact your representatives today.

Update: Silly me. I misread the article and concluded that this was a Washington State issue. Then I realized that this was going on at the Federal level and the stakes got much higher. No matter where it’s taking place, action to protect people from discrimination is key, so be sure to contact your representatives.
