Sexual Orientation Discrimination: Federal Law
Sexual orientation discrimination is considered by many Americans to be an issue of the utmost importance in today's' workplace. No matter where a company or business is located, a person should not be discriminated against because of his or her sexual orientation. The person should be able to open about his or her sexual orientation if they choose, and should not be shamed because of it.
Unfortunately, the Federal government does not agree that the issue of sexual orientation discrimination is serious enough to warrant Federal laws preventing it and protecting homosexuals from it in their workplaces. The only state that has laws preventing sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace is California. All other states have lagged behind with this type of anti-discrimination law. The fact that California is the only state to have sexual orientation anti-discrimination laws makes it almost necessary for homosexuals to hide their sexual orientation from their employers.
