Bi Sasquatch<p>Headline: The Trump Administration Has Made 150 Million American Workers Newly Vulnerable to Workplace Discrimination</p><p>Source: Center for American Progress</p><p>From the article: "Essentially, all employees and job seekers, a total of approximately 153 million Americans, benefit from the protections the EEOC provides. The Equal Pay Act—a law requiring equal pay for equal work that the EEOC enforces—covers virtually all employers, while other laws enforced by the EEOC apply to all but the smallest employers. Whether they work in the private sector or for the government, practically all employees and those applying for jobs are protected by the EEOC against illegal employer actions" (Annotations removed for clarity)</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/EEOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EEOC</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EqualEmploymentOpportunityCommission" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EqualEmploymentOpportunityCommission</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Disabled</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ableism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ADA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ADA</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Elderly" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Elderly</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ageism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ageism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Minorities" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Minorities</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PeopleOfColor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PeopleOfColor</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Racism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gender</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sexism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Pregnancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Pregnancy</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/SexualOrientation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SexualOrientation</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBT</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQDiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQDiscrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQIAPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQIAPlus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lesbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lesbian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bisexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bisexual</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TransgenderDiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TransgenderDiscrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Queer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Intersex" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Intersex</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Asexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Asexual</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NonBinary</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/HumanResources" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HumanResources</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Recruiters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Recruiters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TalentAcquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TalentAcquisition</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThePoliticsOfHate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePoliticsOfHate</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThePoliticsOfGreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePoliticsOfGreed</span></a> </p><p>URL for article because thumbnail is not displaying:<br /><a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-trump-administration-has-made-150-million-american-workers-newly-vulnerable-to-workplace-discrimination/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">americanprogress.org/article/t</span><span class="invisible">he-trump-administration-has-made-150-million-american-workers-newly-vulnerable-to-workplace-discrimination/</span></a></p>

Bi Sasquatch<p>Headline: The Costly Business of Discrimination</p><p>While this article is over a decade old, the effects and costs of discrimination of LGBTQ people, especially Transgender people, have surely increased.</p><p>Source: Center for American Progress - Mar 22, 2012</p><p>From the article: "There’s a price to be paid for workplace discrimination—$64 billion. That amount represents the annual estimated cost of losing and replacing more than 2 million American workers who leave their jobs each year due to unfairness and discrimination.</p><p>"A significant number of those workers are gay and transgender individuals who have been treated unfairly simply because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. According to a recent survey, fully 42 percent of gay individuals say they have experienced some form of employment discrimination at some point in their lives. Transgender workers face even higher rates of workplace discrimination and harassment. An astonishing 90 percent of transgender individuals report experiencing some form of harassment, mistreatment, or discrimination on the job, or taking actions such as hiding who they are to avoid it. This includes 47 percent who said they had experienced an adverse job outcome such as being fired, denied employment, or not receiving a deserved promotion because of their gender identity."</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Business" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Business</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Employee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Employee</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Employer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Employer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Workplace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Workplace</span></a> <br /><a href="https://c.im/tags/Discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQDiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQDiscrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TransgenderDiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TransgenderDiscrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transrights</span></a> <br /><a href="https://c.im/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBT</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQIAPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQIAPlus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lesbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lesbian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bisexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bisexual</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Queer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Intersex" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Intersex</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Asexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Asexual</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NonBinary</span></a> </p><p>URL for article because thumbnail is not displaying:<br /><a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-costly-business-of-discrimination/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">americanprogress.org/article/t</span><span class="invisible">he-costly-business-of-discrimination/</span></a></p>
