Hi Terry
You might want to check the laws in your state. I believe some states have laws
protecting people from job discrimination based on sexual orientation. There are
even some cities that have ordinances that protect homosexuals and lesbians. I
think it is only about 9 states and 150 or so localities though that provide some
legal protection from job discrimination.
