We all know that, for better or worse, that the United States is a patchwork of 50 states. For those of us who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, we think that we know that the Southern states are the worst of the worst. We know the South will fire an employee at will, but not us - we enlightened folks up North won't do such a thing.
Oh, really? So this means Michigan is part of the South?
Yep, really. If you are LGB or T, and your boss hates gays etc., you better keep things secret, 'cause if you don't, you're out of luck. Hope you enjoy the unemployment line.
Do yourself a favor. E-write your Congressperson, and tell her/him that things must change. One's status as a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender should not be a fireable "offense".

The Congresspeople are selected at random. If you live in one of cities or towns, just press the appropriate name, and you will be transported to your appropriate Congressperson. If not, go to www.house.gov and enter your ZIP code in the upper right corner. If you live in a very large city, or live in an area where two districts intersect, it might be best to have the ZIP+4 code. (example: 12345-6789) You can find this on most mail you receive. Thanks.
