Protect Against Workplace Discrimination – ENDA

admin — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:40:12 +0000

Last month, a bipartisan group of the U.S. representatives introduced legislation that would prevent workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In matters regarding the workplace, men and women should be judged solely on the basis of job performance.

Most people think it is a given that it is illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity, but it is legal to do so based on sexual orientation in 30 states and based on gender identity in 38 states.

Federal law protects against employment discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, age and disability. In 2007, the House passed an Employment Non-Discrimination Act that protected on the basis of sexual orientation but not gender identity. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen says that though many local governments have similar laws, ENDA is needed on a Federal level. Get support and updates from sites such as GayMiamiBeachTravel.com.

Get your tickets to enjoy the Miami Gay Men’s Chorus’ “LOOK: BACK, INWARD & FORWARD” at the Colony Theater on June 19th or 20th. In this concert the Miami Gay Men’s Chorus will celebrate their first decade of gay Miami events through performances of favorites from ABBA to Elton John directed by Anthony Cabrera. Following will be the premiere of Miami Gay Men’s Chorus’ Through a Glass, Darkly, a bold new choral performance that shows what you get when you combine the drama of contemporary relationships with a crystal methamphetamine addiction, a growing real-life problem in the community.

The music and lyrics, written by Michael Shaieb, combines club beats with brilliant solos and is closed with a powerful edge by the entire Miami Gay Men’s Chorus. On Friday, June 19th, the gay Miami events will be at 8:00PM. On Saturday, June 20th, there will be a show at 2:00PM and another at 8:00PM.

Broward’s First Gay-Themed Library – Stonewall Library

admin — Fri, 01 May 2009 20:57:18 +0000

Broward County’s first gay-themed library officially opened in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday, just one day before the GLBT literary Festival. The library, called Stonewall Library and Archives, will host the Gay and Lesbian Literary Arts Festival on Friday and Saturday. Stonewall derived its name from the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York that paved the way for the modern gay rights movement. Stonewall Library shares a building with a county library and sits on the edge of a park where children play and seniors gather. With about 20,000 books and movies, Stonewall is the largest independent gay-themed library. The library evolved from a group of college students who exchanged books to an incorporated non-profit functioning out of a small closet in a church to where it is now, a 4,200 square-foot space. Visitors must be 18 to access the materials. The library has T-shirts showing different gay rights causes and a wall depicting a timeline of the gay rights movement. This new gay-themed library is located at 1300 Sunrise Blvd.
