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.

Miami is a gay friendly travel destination offering a wide variety of Miami attractions and things to do found in the Miami Beach gay guide. Miami Beach, more specifically its southern tip called South Beach, is the capital of gay life in Miami. Miami Beach has been a top destination for gay travelers for years but the last few years has seen a decrease in its gay and lesbian population.
Miami Beach’s local population is definitely considered gay-friendly but high property taxes, rising properties and rent prices impacted the gay community as it has everyone else. Many from Miami’s gay community moved further up north to reduce the impact of the drastically increased cost of living. This trend has negatively impacted and dramatically reduced the South Beach gay nightlife and thus, the social scene of South Beach. A large number of gays and lesbians moved to Fort Lauderdale where they developed new up-and-coming gay-friendly neighborhoods.
South Beach is still popular among the gay community and is still home to a gay beach and gay nightlife including some gay clubs and bars which you may find in the Miami Beach gay guide. It is not so uncommon to see gay travelers spending their days in South Beach and enjoying the gay nightlife in Fort Lauderdale. Gay and lesbian travelers take advantage of the cosmopolitan and exciting city of Miami Beach through the use of the Miami Beach gay guide. They find and enjoy its collection of art deco buildings, great shopping, excellent restaurants and pristine beaches during the day. At night, they party in the gay nightlife of Fort Lauderdale.

Jim Stork, former gay mayor of Wilton Manors has some strong words for several different groups of people.
Amy Sherman, a Miami Herald reporter, wrote about Stork’s failed 2004 Congressional campaign followed by a $30,000 election fine.
In the Herald’s Naked Politics blog, Sherman wrote about Stork’s involvement in the Florida Red and Blue campaign which failed to defeat Amendment 2 which banned gay marriage in the Constitution. Stork emailed Sherman and said, “I have no more tolerance for those who voted for Amendment 2 or those who want to take my rights away … which includes dumb rednecks, bible thumping white folks, bible thumping Hispanics, self-centered educated people who are so self absorbed that they don’t bother to look into an issue, lazy gay people who don’t get involved or are too weak to come out of the closet, and am now most disappointed in African Americans who should be the least likely group of folks to judge others, but are the ones who judge others the most … all of these folks can kiss my a–.”

As of the last count, 3,535 children await adoption in Florida’s state custody.
However, the attorney general’s office recently made sure to tighten the belt on a law that prohibits GAY adoption.
At the same time that this is posing discrimination against gays, it is also adding to the obstacles that these foster children will face in hopes of finding a home.
This law is NOT SAVING these children from anything. Judge Cindy Lederman summarized 30 years of research in the following statement: “Based on the evidence presented from experts from all over this country and abroad, it is clear that sexual orientation is not a predictor of a person’s ability to parent.
Sexual orientation NO more leads to psychiatric disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, relationship instability, a slower life expectancy or sexual disorders than race, gender, social-economic class or any other demographic characteristic.” Way to add to an overwhelming problem.
