“The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) announcement today weighing in against protections for LGBT people in the workplace, shows that President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions will go out of their way to support—even sanction—discrimination against LGBT employees.

No one should have to choose between a career they love and the person they love. No one should be afraid that they might lose their job, or they will be denied a promotion, for being their true, authentic self.
