To: President Donald Trump
Forget Arizona's anti-gay bill, guess what's still legal in 33 states?
President Obama, you called 2014 a "year of action" and promised to use your executive powers when Congress failed to act. We ask that you keep your promise and sign an executive order NOW to provide workplace protections for federal LGBT employees.
Why is this important?
Americans can still be legally fired for being gay in 29 states and for being transgender in 33 states. The Senate passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) to address this problem, but Speaker Boehner refuses to take it up in the House. President Obama has an opportunity to protect as many as 16 million federal workers from discrimination with the swipe of his pen, and we think he should do it right now!
