Background:Many Americans believe that persons of different sexual orientations, whether heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual, are protected against job discrimination. Not so. There are laws against employment discrimination on the basis of gender, race, and other grounds. But most states do not have a law protecting the jobs of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and heterosexuals. Various bills have been introduced since 1994 to safeguard the jobs of persons of all sexual orientations. The 2007 version originally added protection on the basis of sexual identity. However this was later deleted.
