Well Just
wrote and article to the local papers , the Kane Republican and the
Bradford Ere.. wounder how bad they will chop it up or not even publish
it at all... The unpublish, unchopped version..
Hello I has come to My
attention that nothing was ever published in your paper about the New
Federal Hate crimes Law The new law adds acts of violence against gay,
lesbian, bisexual and transgender people to the list of federal hate
crimes signed into law Oct 28 by Pres Obama, The measure also extends
protections to those attacked because of their gender or disability. It
saddened me the other day to read in your police report section about
the people who are always being harassed and even having bottles thrown
at them just because of who they are and being called "freaks" when
they cant help the way they were born into this world, maybe now the
police may be able to do something about these people who continue to
harass this couple , but who knows...
But there's another
pressing issue that also hits home.. everyone talks about getting jobs
and taking care of their family's ... Did you know in 29 states, it's
legal to fire otherwise-qualified employees because they are lesbian,
gay, or bisexual. In 38 states, it's legal to fire otherwise-qualified
employees because they are transgender. These are people who would love
to keep their jobs and help get this county out of its recession, some
say but that's not right they cant fire someone there are laws against
that, unfortunately No that's not true, Current federal law protects
workers against discrimination based on their race, gender, religion,
national origin, and disability, but NOT based on sexual orientation or
gender identity.... However
there is something that trying to change all that and allow these
people to continue working and supporting their family's and yes
helping the country .. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (H.R.
3017) would make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire, or refuse to
promote employees based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
inst it about time to stand on what this country was founded on ? remember
This country was founded upon the principle of equal opportunity. Our
government must continue to uphold this value for all Americans,
whether they're black, Christian, disabled, gay or transgender.
So
please remember The Employment Non-Discrimination Act is NOT about
special treatment. It simply gives these workers the same rights and
protections as their colleagues. It comes down to ensuring that
employees are judged for their performance, not for who they are. isn't
it about time ? Thanks Joanne Lynn
So we will see iffn they even publish it at all or how bad its been mutilated ill post the article here if and when its publish for comparable copy
