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
