OK, so I just wanted to post a link to this petition. Basically, the Employee Non-Discrimination Act would protect GLBT folks from being fired from a job just for being GLBT, BUT politicians are trying to pass a newer version which would exclude those people who are transgendered. So, this petition is to urge law-makers to vote on the ORIGINAL version which is inclusive, rather than the new one. I know some folks are gonna be like, "screw you...." but just thought I would offer it up to those who are supportive.

An excerpt from our employee handbook (very typical of most companies)
QUOTE Your relationship with <company> is that of an employee-at-will. Your job status does not guarantee employment for any specific length of time. Your employment with <company> is entered into voluntarily and both you and <company> are free to end the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without cause or advance notice most jobs any of us will ever have will be "at-will" jobs. in which case you don't even have to have a "reason" to be let go. |

True, but it's very unlikely that you will be fired with the reason that you are straight/heterosexual. |
