In 70% of the United States, lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) people can be fired just because of their sexual
orientation. This shocking statistic is a contradictory reality in a nation that
said yes to same-sex marriage just a few months ago. According to an in-depth
study,
there are laws that explicitly protect homosexual people from possible
discrimination in the workplace in only 30% of US. LGBT people living in
urban areas are 50 times more likely to be protected by a local, county
or state law, compared to those living in rural areas. According to gay
rights activists, these alarming figures reveal the urgent need to pass
laws at federal level against this type of discrimination, as soon as
possible.
