LGBT couples are allowed to legally marry without question or discrimination as a result of the Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges on June 26, 2015. But, while supporters of LGBT rights celebrate this marriage equality milestone, can our country’s LGBT individuals seek and keep a job without fear of discrimination? All federal employees are protected from workplace discrimination based on their sexual orientation and gender identity; there is no such security, however, for public or private sector employees. Similar to the 37 states that ruled to permit gay marriage before the nationwide decision, some state governments have taken it into their own power to bar this kind of employment discrimination.
The regulation of LGBT employment discrimination in the United States varies by jurisdiction. FH+H created an original infographic to show which states currently have laws that prohibit discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
