Transgendered?
Your job could be in jeapordy. |
In 31 states, it's
still legal to fire someone because they're gay. In 39 states it
is legal to fire someone for being transgender. What else does BRO
have to say?
While we work to preserve
our new laws banning discrimination here in Oregon, we must keep
up pressure for basic rights at the Federal level, too. That's why
we want you to urge you to take action in support of the Federal
Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is expected to come
to a vote before the U.S. House of Representatives early next week.

In March, I went on Rachel Maddow's show and spoke three truthful
words: "I am gay."
As an infantry officer,
an Iraq combat veteran and a West Point graduate with a degree
in Arabic, I refuse to lie to my commanders. I refuse to lie
to my peers. I refuse to lie to my subordinates.
As a result, the
Army sent a letter discharging me on April 23. The letter is
a slap in the face. It is a slap in the face to me and it is
a slap in the face to the soldiers who I have commanded and
served with over the last decade.
I have served for a decade under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
-- an immoral policy that forces American soldiers to lie about
their sexual orientation. Worse, it forces others to tolerate
deception. As I learned at West Point, deception and lies poison
a unit and cripple a fighting force.
...I need your support.
Please ask President Obama not to fire me. Click here to watch
my recent interview on Rachel Maddow's show and sign the Courage
Campaign's petition asking the President to end the "Don't
Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
