Lobby for LGBT Equality in Pennsylvania

Sorted under GLBTQ on March 11, 2009

Currently, there is no state law in Pennsylvania prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity; meaning someone can very well lose their job or not be hired for a job they are highly qualified for above others simply because they are gay or transgendered. House Bill 300 will change that. HB 300 would prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

On March 17, Equality Advocates Pennsylvania and the Value All Families Coalition for a state-wide lobby day in Harrisburg. Free buses are available from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh; you can reserve you seat on a bus here.

Whether you are able to attend the rally or not, please consider sending a letter to Pennsylvania State Representatives telling them why Pennsylvania needs an anti-discrimination law that protects all people in the state, not just a chosen few.

Advertising in Pennsylvania is necessary to get the word out. It's a shame that there is still discrimination in the US today.

Bountiful UT

Glad Pennsylvania is making progress here, slowly. Seems like Utah will have to wait for a Federal mandate...

Out Campaign

The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
